Winter Cruise Blog: My trip on the Megabus

Ahhh, the sun, the sand, the pretty beaches. There is nothing like a good vacation. This January I decided well, I'm going to leave the cold and travel down to the Bahamas for some nice weather. I overall enjoyed the trip but there were some cons to the whole thing.

Well, this cruise I was on the Enchantment of the Seas for five days. Its a Royal Caribbean cruise ship and my first time on this particular cruise line. I was really excited.

For this trip we took the Megabus to Orlando. Now, I have read, read, read and read how to get from Orlando Lynx Bus station to Port Canaveral. I read somewhere that you can take a $25 shuttle to the Port. Well, that information is not correct. Not at all. After the 8 hour ride on a squished bus behind a stinky man we arrived at Lynx Bus station, only to ride the city bus 45 minutes to the airport. Once I arrived at the airport I was thinking ok here is where I take the $25 shuttle. Wrong again........When we arrived at the airport we were told we would have to take the Royal Caribbean shuttle to Port Canaveral, another 45 minutes. It cost $37. Needless to say I was tired of buses and sitting down by the time I got to the Port.

I was extremely annoyed with the megabus on my way down. On the way home, I had the seat to myself and it was bearable. The price was ok and I probably ended up saving some money but at the end of the of the day, I probably won't take the megabus anymore. The hassle was just too much. Prefer to just drive or fly.

Cruise Blog Part 3: This Island gives me life

So while I was gone I visited two different islands in the Bahamas. Nassau and Freeport. We went to Nassau on Saturday and stayed until 5pm. I loved loved loved Nassau. My aunt and I spent the day together. She's the bomb and hella funny so I knew whatever we ended up doing would be great. We knew we wanted to go to the beach but I had no idea how we would get there. So we decided to walk around and sight see at first and in the process look for souvenirs. We had a good time, we stopped at a couple shops and even a Rum Cake Factory. We tasted Banana Rum Cake and let me tell you, it was divine. It was so good, I wanted to flip the table over for no reason. We stopped at a little shop and tried conch fritters, they were tasty. 

Then the crazy stuff started happening. We hopped in a taxi so we could go to the beach and it was $4 a person. As the driver is driving us around, he proceeds to drive on both sides of the road, at very high speeds. My Aunt is looking like WTH? She gets motion sick so this is a no go. He tells us that in the Bahamas driving rules don't apply and its ok to do this. I'm like da hell!!!! But we made it in one piece. We had a good time at the beach, it was pretty. After the beach we headed back to the boat, but not before another crazy ride with a crazy native. Nassau was great and i cannot wait to get back.
