*** Freeport, Bahamas – January 19, 2011 ***
We docked into Freeport between 7am and 8am this morning. We never heard the announcement indicating that we could debark the ship, but luckily we were docked on our side of the ship and we could see that people were heading into port.

We had no plans for the day and if we could have the do-over card, we probably would have just stayed on the ship and enjoyed the quiet day. However, we took a cab to Port Lucaya and was extremely disappointed in the area and in our choice for brunch. Things are definitely more expensive in Freeport than they are in Nassau. We were back on the ship around 11am and headed back to the cabin to freshen up and grab our Fun Times to see what was happening on board. We went and played a couple of games of trivia and then grabbed some much needed food. After lunch we headed down to the cabin to relax and ended up taking a well deserved nap.
We did not dine in the MDR tonight as we had reservations for Chef’s Table. We first experienced Chef’s Table on the Carnival Dream and while majority of the menu is the same, there were a couple of dishes that were different.

After the Chef’s Table we headed to the casino to people watch and Eric tried his hand again at Caribbean Stud Poker and Blackjack. After our donation to the “electric bill” we went up to the “secret deck” and just enjoyed the peace and tranquility of being in the middle of the ocean. When we arrived back to our room we were surprised to find a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. We have no idea who they are from or where they came from, but they look delicious. Hopefully they’ll be fine come morning as I can’t eat another bite of anything after the Chef’s Table experience.
Tonight's towel animal and our surprise strawberries.

Tomorrow we dock in Nassau and I am looking forward to some GOOD cracked conch.

Bummer! I wish Freeport was better for ya'll...live and learn, I guess. It sounds like the Chef's Table more than made up for it though so that's good. Who got you the strawberries? Did you ever solve the mystery??? Hint: it was NOT us; I promise!

Eh. We had read on CC that it is kind of disappointing, but we thought we'd check it out ourselves. Ah well. The Chef's Table is AMAZING!!!! I really want the 6 of us to do it on the family cruise. No, I know it wasn't you guys. It was from some one very famous in the cruising world. ;)

Hi again! Can I ask does it cost extra to dine at the Chef's table? I may be getting my research confused but thought I'd read it cost $75/pp extra. If not, we may try to get in on that. Thanks!
The Chef's Table is $75/pp (charged at the time of the dinner) but in my opinion so totally worth it. The food is out of this world and the service is top notch. If you are interested you can request reservations through John Heald's blog. Just reply to his most recent blog and in the subject line put CHEF'S TABLE RESERVATIONS. Be sure to include your sail date, cabin number, last name and number of guests. The information is moderated and will NOT be posted to the public. :D
