There's a whole different language on cruise ships, you pick it up as you go along. Up until today, I'd heard the word overnight, and how glorious they are, but had yet to experience one first hand. That changed today. We normally tender at Cococay (that means we're out at sea and these little boats take the people to the island) and then go to Nassau the next day. Unfortunately (fortunately?) the weather is bad today and we ended up having to evacuate the island and bring everyone back to the ship. Lucky for us, Nassau Port had a spot free so now we're docking there for the night. Why is that so exciting? Because we don't have a curfew!!! Normally when we dock in Nassau we have to be back to the ship by 11:30 to leave at 12am, so if you work late, you can't go out. Since we're staying over night with no curfew, even if you work until 2am, you can still go out! It's amazing. Well, not amazing for the security guys who have to sit at the gangway alllll night. But it's amazing for me, who gets off at 10pm. Did I mention that I'm excited? :)
