The first of our two ports on our Caribbean cruise was to Coco Cay, the Royal Caribbean-owned island in the Bahamas.
We brought our own snorkeling gear with us on the trip, which saved us about $25 each. Gotta love that! We weren't quite sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised with how many fish we saw. They had sunk a cannon, a boat, and even an airplane to create reefs out from their beach. The ship also provided a BBQ lunch for us, so it ended up being an all-day outing.

There were little wooden fish attached to weights strewn about the snorkeling area. It was a scavenger hunt type activity, and if you found one, you traded it in for a prize. Shaun, ever ready to compete, found one and won an underwater camera, which he used to take pictures of the various undersea creatures.

As the sun set, we eagerly awaited the next day in Nassau.
