You missed all the fun with Helene.
Not a lot of good fun to be had in your area up to NC. A few gusts of near 50mph around Nassau and Freeport but just an outer band of the storm, pretty smooth other wise. Some fun was had by passengers rebooking flights. Channelside drive was a cluster with three ships dropping off at the same time 1230pm and people waiting to get on.

Coco Cay, we booked the adult only area.
PC, I had some plan. A brewery nearby? Can't think of the name now...
The Carib Brewery is probably the closest(10min)/biggest in that area. The Carib company bought the local Indian River Brewing 7-8 years ago. Havent been there since they were bought out. Bar hop the 4-5 places that are in walking distance of where you will dock. Gonna do the flowrider or ice skate? The Ice skating show and Aqua show at the back of the ship are usually excellent.

The prices they get at some of those places in Coco Cay are
Feeder Sleeper level prices. Not good value IMO. Ill go play some volleyball, have some drinks and walk around or the jetski tour is good. The trident sub base/wharf is on the north side of the inlet if you had not seen it before. Took a pic of one heading in on the Utopia in August.

The ILA has said that it will exempt cruise ships and military cargoes from the strike and will continue to handle those to prevent disruptions to travelers' schedules as well as national security.

Yes, Carib, that is the one I was looking at!
Hideaway Beach was $40.50 pp, worth it for us not to have kids all over the place.
I reserved two shows. HiRO and Hairspray. Also an adult comedy show.
Ummm, I'll have to think of some dining questions I have.. We have anytime, but I reserved a couple days? Not sure how that works... Have Chops for first night (wifeys bd).
Not likely to do Flowrider or iceskating. I'll do zipline, wifey wont. Some tunnel slide thing too?

Zipline weight limit is 275 so that eliminates most feeder drivers. It’s short but worth a try or 6.
