Cruise Time

So Daniel and I decided to take a cruise this year for our anniversary. At first we were going to go with a Norwegian Cruise out of Miami. Then we found a deal with Carnival cruising out of Jax. It came out cheaper because the taxes involved are cheaper here then in Miami.

We booked a balcony cabin and we are going to the Bahamas. Daniel contacted a DJ acquaintance from Nassau so we will know a local person that is willing to show us around. I'm not really wanting to go to a beach while we're in Nassau since the next day we're going to be going to the cruise lines private beach. So we're looking for historical things to do while in Nassau. Neither of us wants to go to Atlantis since we've read that the place is normally packed and we'd rather learn something about the history of the islands.

The next day we are going to a private island called Half Moon Cay. The big thing we're discussing is if we should try to rent a cabana on the island. They are about $200 but everyone RAVES about them. I found a video for them on Youtube. What do you guys think? Spurge or Save?

I'm getting kinda excited. We have a while till the cruise but I'm excited.

Depends on how long you plan on being there. If you're like me, then you enjoy the beach but the sun KILLS you and you need a place to hide. It seems like a nice little set up, but unless you're going to be sending hours upon hours out there, I'm not sure if $200 if worth a fruit tray, Cokes, and rafts. But at the same time, it's a cruise, it's vacation, and it's your anniversary, so what the heck, go ahead and splurge!

We're going to be at the island all day. Everyone who goes and gets the cabana says they end up staying longer then everyone else because they have a place to get out of the sun and it has AC.

We're still torn with me leaning towards yes.
