 Conch by dlandt Conch is a shellfish type of animal that tastes like a clam when fresh, but has the consistency and texture of calamari. Most often, you come across 'conch fritters' which are a poor imitation of conch. The fritters are ground conch mixed with bread dough and deep fried with onions. I had the fritters a few times and didn't really think they tasted like conch. Shown here, is 'cracked conch' which is strips of whole conch, lightly breaded and deep fried. This is what I recommend you eat. I'd already eaten half this $9 plate when I got the idea to take a picture. Its quite good and I got it at Haven Seafood restaurant on a pier off of Bay St. Conch shells, polished or raw are also sold. Off a boat, the price should be $2 for a raw one. Leave a Comment

 From the jitney bus by grandmaR All the kids in the Bahamas wear school uniforms. (At least all the ones I saw did.) These kids were apparently waiting for transportation home - they were congregated on the corner near the Nassau harbour bridges. I took the photo from a jitney bus on East Bay Street as I was on my way back to the marina. Leave a Comment

 Policeman giving parking ticket by grandmaR The policemen in Nassau look really nice (and tropical) in their uniforms. The woman left her car in a no-parking zone in rush hour to run in and get her dry cleaning, and she's batting her eyelashes at this policeman to try to get out of a parking ticket. Leave a Comment

When travelling on a Royal Caribean Cruise ship you are issued a Sea PAss. Your Sea Pass acts as your room key, identification card and is used to charge items onto your room account. When you check in at the Port you are iasked for a credit card to link to your Sea Pass charges. Then a photo is taken for your Sea Pass. When entering or leaving the boat you must have you Sea Pass with you. The pass is swipped into the computer and your image is viewed ont he screen. Lanyards are available at the ships gifts shops that hold your Sea Pass around your neck. It's an easy way to keep your Sea Pass handy. Leave a Comment

Depending on the cruise ship and the duration of the cruise; there is a dress code for the Main dining room. On this particular cruise there was only one formal night. Formal Night means suits for gentlemen and dressy attire for ladies. No jeans, shorts or sneakers are permitted in the main dining room. Most passengers comply with these rules but we did see a person wearing jeans.......unbelievable. Leave a Comment

The cruise ship has a "Drink of the Day". The Drink of the Day is posted in tghe Cruise Compass (which is the daily guide to events and happenings aboard the ship). The drink of the day is normally served in a souvenier glass and is about $7.95 a drink. Some drinks are even served in a careved out pineapple with blinking lighted ice cubes. Leave a Comment

by AnjoLuci When traveling I go where a lot people don't go. I really like to learn about their culture, how they livem, their culture and their history. That is the full meaning of the world 'travel' to me. Here is a place nice and cultural to go if you are not just looking for a relaxing vacation.

 Kalik by dlandt The most common beer served in the Bahamas is Kalik. Its brewed in a lager style and I would rate it at the same quality as one of the premium brands of American beer (i.e. Michelob) or a mass produced European beer (i.e Tuborg). Like a lot of beers from hotter climes, its a bit lighter, and a bit gassier than what I'm used to, but I found it to be pretty good. They also brew a heavier wheat beer called Lucaya which I found tastier, but a bit filling for the weather. Leave a Comment
