“Home Cooking” Cedar Park, 2019
We’re back from vacation and after a week of cruise food, it’s nice to have a home-cooked meal. I’ve missed yummy Japanese rice and miso soup!

End of the Cruise and Relaxing in Miami
“Sunrise” Miami, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
We arrived at the Port of Miami early this morning and were back at my cousin’s house relaxing by 11 am. It was a bit sad to leave the ship since it meant our vacation was coming to a close, but the disembarkation was easy and also we still had a birthday celebration to attend.
So what was on the menu for the birthday? Sushi!!! ❤️🍣 Not only that, but my niece made a cake and lychee ice cream for her dad. Super-yummy!

And if that wasn’t enough, that evening we went out for drinks at Monty’s Raw Bar and Cuban food at La Carreta. My Cuban Sampler dinner was huge and I didn’t come close to finishing it. 😲 But it was delicious and so much fun to hang out with my family. It’s the best!

A Day in Nassau – Exploring Atlantis and Lunching at Oh Andros
“Aquarium Window” Nassau, 2019
*note: when this blog post is published, we will have already returned back from vacation*
Our morning in Nassau was spent exploring the aquariums of the Atlantis Paradise Island resort. Atlantis is a giant hotel with casino, water park, and aquariums. It’s pretty incredible!
While most of our group went to the water park, Mariko, Bay, Koa, and I opted to just check out the aquariums around the “Dig” area. The area is themed similar to the Disney animated Atlantis movie, with ancient Atlantean technology and artifacts. Very cool. And the aquariums were really nice, with the star being a huge manta ray – I mean who doesn’t love manta rays?

We finished up the aquariums and Atlantis around noon and then headed to “Fish Fry”, which is a small area of local restaurants. My cousin told us to meet them at Oh Andros, and while we were walking there using Google Maps, a local couple who were sitting in their car heard me mention the restaurant name and told us that Oh Andros was definitely the place to go! They even gave us directions.
We arrived at the restaurant ahead of my cousins and parents so we went ahead and ordered first. A couple of local beers and the Seafood Combination plate were fantastic! Lobster, fish, shrimp, peas and rice, etc… and a huge portion!

When the rest of our group arrived, they ordered even more fish, shrimp, and conch fritters and everyone was stuffed. So good… I definitely recommend Oh Andros at Fish Fry. Yummy!
“Local Brew” Nassau, 2019
We had to be back on the ship by 3:30 pm, which honestly seemed way too early, so after a little shopping, we met up with the larger family and boarded together. The final night’s dinner and show were especially good, which was a nice way to end the cruise.

Sea Day – Cozumel to Nassau
“Magic Show” Caribbean Sea, 2019
Today was our second “sea day” and we spent it eating, drinking, hanging out in the pool, eating more, going to see the show, enjoying chocolate cocktails, and eating more. That’s cruise life, I guess!
“Chocolate Drinks” Caribbean Sea, 2019
I have to say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the shows on the MSC Seaside. Even though we listen to the same five main singers, they have been really good, and the variety of shows is refreshing. Everyone especially loved the magic acts and acrobats. Very impressive! And we even saw a 30-minute version of Madame Butterfly opera in the afternoon. Very nice and unexpected. I thought it was great.
