Departure from Miami, FL (5pm) Monday
Nassau (8am - 12am) Tuesday Ever wonder why it’s called Paradise? Nassau is the capital city in a chain of 700 tropical islands off the coast of Florida. Unite with thousands of crazy Spring Break partiers from all over the U.S. Spend your day soaking in the Bahamian sun, swimming with dolphins, or hitting the jackpot at a casino. Then get loose at the high octane clubs and bars like Senor Frogs and Bahama Boom.
- Take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with a dolphin. Have your picture taken while kissing these loving creatures, learn about their anatomy, and pet and feed them while standing in waist-deep water. All at the wonderful facility that is home to Universal Studios' Flipper, who starred in the 1996 movie with the same name.
- Take a break and relax on your own semi-private island. Located just a short boat ride away from Nassau, Blackbeard's Cay is surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water, sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. Or better yet, check out the Stingray Adventure. This amazing experience could easily be the highlight of your trip.
- Relive the swashbuckling past on an exciting pirates and dungeons tour of Fort Charlotte and the Pirates of Nassau Museum.
- Go on a glass-bottom-boat tour for a glimpse into the underwater world of the Bahamas. Snorkel with the stingrays at Blue Lagoon Island.
- Visit Predator Lagoon where you'll see sharks, barracuda and many other creatures from the deep.
- Dance the calypso and sip a refreshing rum punch while sailing aboard the 85-foot Yellowbird.
- Marvel at the flora and watch the famous "marching" flamingoes at Ardastra Gardens and Conservation Center.
- For an exciting adventure, hop on the powerboat Thriller, Nassau's fastest ride. Enjoy Nassau Harbor, Paradise Island and many other amazing spots.
Cococay (8am - 5pm) Wednesday Coco Cay is Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas. White sand beaches and bright blue waters surround this tropical paradise reserved for Royal Caribbean guests. Within the Berry Island chain of the Bahamas, about 50 miles from Nassau, Coco Cay is the perfect setting for a beach adventure. Coco Cay has been recently renovated and now includes updated nature trails. There is an additional charge for entrance to this floating playground, however. There are numerous hammocks scattered in shady enclaves, plenty of lounge chairs line the beach and lots of remote areas to explore. A sunken airplane and a shipwrecked replica of Queens Anne’s Revenge make snorkeling and SCUBA diving popular. But, so are jet skiing, parasailing and paddle boats. An island-style seaside barbeque is the fare for the day. Water is free, but sodas and cocktails may be purchased. This is the place to try a “Coco Loco”, Coco Cay’s signature drink.
Key West (10:45am - 6pm) Thursday Ernest Hemingway made wild, colorful Key West his home, and you will want to do the same. Home to modern-day adventurers, artists and poets, the island's charming Old Town teems with restaurants, bars and unique shops. Add pristine coral reefs, coconut palms and a laid-back attitude that's truly contagious, and it's easy to see why so many visitors to Key West never leave.
Enjoy the pleasures of a glass-bottom boat on a unique and informative eco-tour of the only living coral reef in the continental United States. It's home to over 300 species of fish, which complete the colorful and intriguing seascape. The boats are specially designed to provide maximum viewing with minimum stress to the delicate reef environment.
