Park Ranger: "… I swear they never threw away a piece of paper." - Reminds me of that scene in HBO's John Adams where !!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!....... Mrs. Adams recommended he write his life story after showing some fret about history overlooking him and his crucially important contributions to the country. He's then shown writing surrounded by stacks upon stacks upon stacks of papers he collected through his career. He can't find the papers to a specific event and he's got his son Thomas and the mother of Charles's children Sally Smith looking but it becomes obvious they're irritated having to go through all those papers that Adams tells them 'it's in here somewhere' so KEEP SEARCHING!
That is a great comparison!
My family is related to the Waving Girl's family by marriage. Florence passed away about 10 years before I was born but my mother's cousins and other family remembered her well. Growing up I loved to hear their stories of Florence. Your video matches with the tales I heard. Thank you for your delightful and genuine contribution.
That is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Secretary of State William Seward was recovering from a Carriage Accident.
Gotcha
A great video very informative thank you sir
Thank you so much!
Uh....uh....
Yep yep
I have been traveling yearly to Nassau since I was a small child (now 48 yo). I remember Paradise island before Atlantis hit it. It’s beautiful, the people are wonderful, the food is amazing. Yes it can be pricey especially if you go the Atlantis or Baha Mar route but if you actually explore the island you can do, see and eat a lot on a budget. Please respect the islands and don’t be the ugly tourists.
Thanks for watching!
Always bring food on board with you! I love the Auto train! But yea, it's not sleep friendly! 😂
Now you tell me!
Yeah what else is new with the Auto Train... it`s a joke would never take it again always late every time we traveled, and in my opinion so not worth the money, which as you know is A lot
It has its place I guess but we would have probably been better off driving.
@@jnlvideopostcards I hear you, that`s what I do, don`t get me wrong as a kid back in the early 70`s me and my brothers had a blast on that train and it helped my father, but I just drive these days and fly home for holidays
As far as the east coast goes the one I would like to take is the cardinal from New Orleans to DC. It cuts through the hills and mountains of northern Alabama and Georgia, and then into North Carolina and Virginia. Much more of a scenic route than the east coast From Florida. I think it’s better tracks in that area as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! I hope we get the time and the money to explore that one.
Finally watching HBO's John Adams. Thank you for this video.
You are in for a treat! I wish I could watch it again for the first time. Truly a fave!
@@jnlvideopostcards Now my mom is watching it. When they panned to George Washington she screamed out in delight b/c he was so striking in that outfit! David Morse is perfect!
So you had the misadventure of being delayed by an accident, have you ever been inconvenienced by a few hours delay because of an accident on the interstate? Probably so, the Auto Train aims to save travelers from the I-95 travel which I have done many times and is a bear. On average the Auto Train is on-time in both directions 98% of the time.
Misadventures are still adventures and we find those to me as or more memorable than ones that go perfectly. Adventure like wine gets better with age and everytime we discuss that particular adventure it is done with a smile.
pizza isnt paid for..its complimentary from what ive found out
This is true!
Going April 2024
Excited for you!
Omg did u see the hot tub
It’s warm!
Going in august 2023 🎉❤
Yay!
Hi, thank you so much for making this video. I love your honesty on Nassau, you don't normally hear this level of detail for the Bahamas. It's usually beaches, sand, beaches, beaches and Atlantis. If possible, it would be awesome if you could do the same for other Caribbean islands and nations; when your budget allows.
Thanks a bunch for the kind words! Budget is the key though and we are a while away from that.
Going in this ship in June first timers can’t wait
You will have a blast!
Excellent tour!! Subscribed! 🙂
Thank you for the kind words!
Will be cruising out of Miami in November 2023 on this ship. Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you for the feedback!
Me too
It's been a few years ago that I went which was precovid and honestly, I wasn't impressed. The straw market was a bunch of vendors with similar items, the downtown shopping was minimal. We didn't make it to the beach so I'm not sure about that.
Thanks for sharing!
i am from Bahamas...please understand most of our food are imported which adds to the high prices and even some seafoods are imported....costt of living is probably double that of US because we have to add prices on to our imported goods
I find this to be accurate as well.
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Thank you Laura!
czcams.com/video/5kSLpDv1ZA8/video.html
You did okay I guess, with a few inaccuracies...... You're also missing a lot of details on the Western and Southern areas of Nassau. Places like the Clifton heritage village & Park, as well as, the Baha Mar water park & resort. Jet ski and powerboat adventure tours, dolphin adventure Island and lagoon, the piglet petting beach..... Along with an array of other activities and tours to be had on New Providence....... Try to explore some more on your next trip over. Nassau is way more than just Paradise Island and The Fish Fry. ☮️
Thanks for the feedback!
Did Selma Hayek start a channel-love the voice.
Very lovely to say!
Can you take the laggage with you? I read they delivers to the room.
You can do both! We have no preference.
RCL new ships are Great but their new Diner menu Stinks. We are Long term cruisers on RCL & have been on all the ship classes but the new Diner menu is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Fried chicken dish that would be better from Popeyes, 1 small piece of over fried cheap white fish thats so hard it must be cut with a Steak knife. Charging passengers $ 18. for a second piece of Miniature Lobster tail which costs basically $ 4.00 at the grocery store ?? Flank steak 1/4 inch being passed off as NY strip loin, what a Joke. I think RCL has to Fire the guy that thought of this DISASTER & Executives should never give up control of the company to Chartered Accountants which will Bankrupt the Company as people will turn to other Vacation options. I am embarrassed to have invited friends & Family to join us on upcoming Cruises of RCL !
Thanks for the info!
RIPOFF PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOU JUST $$$$ MX WAY BETTER
Breakfast is free at Johnny Rockets!!!
Yeppers!!!
going on a royal caribbean cruise this year and very disappointed with menue change. taking away the basic items.
There were some changes but we still had a blast. Don’t let that ruin your good time!
Going in May2023. Was worried because it looks a lot more dated that other ships. Hopefully we have fun. For the price we will definitely make the best of it
So this ship is a generation or two behind the Quantum class of ships and that was our reservation as well. I think the Royal Caribbean experience has more value than the latest ship. Service was excellent and the amenities while dated were great. The biggest noticeable drop is the entertainment.
same
We’re going in May too!
See y’all there
Drink package value will depend on the purchase price. If it's north of $70 then a moderate drinker probably won't get much benefit. Below $65 and it's more a consideration. And it includes soda, energy drinks, juices, specialty coffee not from a main Starbucks, etc so really depends.
Thanks for the additional tip!
great video, thank you for sharing :)
Really appreciate it Debbie!
I think the 2nd POTUS would've been embarrassed by cowards in face diapers who embrace their own slaveery.
How much are the lobsters at fish fry? If you don’t mind me asking.
We paid about $12. Cheaper than mainland USA but some things on the islands are very expensive. But remember some things are negotiable.
Is the buffet unlimited ???
It is indeed! Eat until you explode!
@@jnlvideopostcards and can we go in as much times as we want ??
Yep!
Are the arcade games free?
Afraid not Will. They are land lubber prices.
They allow SMOKING 🚬 on this cruise ship??🤔
In the casino and on the pool deck in one area.
@@jnlvideopostcards Oh ok. 😔
I hope not
Usually in the casino
I know I can’t stand smoking 😖
Planning to go in October!!! Balcony Cabin! FIRST time having a balcony cabin!
That is exciting! I have heard that makes the ship feel less claustrophobic.
@@jnlvideopostcards The “travel agent” I was going to use told me to print out credit card authorization form Then SCAN it And email back to her So my credit card info is on a piece of paper for ANYONE to SEE?! MIND you she lives in Mississippi and I live in North Carolina. WTF?!?! Suffice to say my Wife and I will find ANOTHER travel Agent!
Thank you sir . The only honest review on Nassau I’ve seen
I appreciate that!
I ❤ Nassau Bahamas better than my hometown Baltimore Maryland
Me to I want to live there
Cool!
I don't want to be rude but I mean Baltimore leaves a lot to be desired lol. Most American cities do.
Going in July 2023!
Ideal timing! If you are going to spend any time wandering around Nassau its going to be very hot though. Might stick to the water parks.
Doesn't sound like you guys enjoyed it that much!
Actually we had a blast!
No it's not worth it to go to Naussa, Grand Cayman, Cozemel, Costa Maya, or Roatan Honduras
Interesting
My wife and I have planned a second cruise on Independence of the Seas in April 2023. We went on it back in 2021, for our anniversary, but it was during the Covid pandemic, and the ship didn't pull into Nassau.
You will enjoy Nassau! Are you considering any excursions?
So awesome! We are traveling on independence of the seas in April too
I lived on Grove Street in Ridgewood back in the 80's. I am up in CT now, but take the Auto Train at least once a year, and have for at least 15 years now. There have been early arrivals and late arrivals, but I have always arrived safely. Sorry this one didn't work out as best as you had hoped, but give it another try whenever the opportunity presents itself. It saves a ton of miles on your car, and you will be able to sleep through the night once you are used to the rocking etc. Thanks for the review!
We really miss living in Ridgewood, it really had everything one could ask for. I think our attitude has evolved a little since we made the video. It really was an experience to remember. L said if she did it again she would do the bedroom and not the roomette. With Amtrak the journey IS the destination. That would be my advice to anyone.
Nice video. Just one thing though, with no harm intended. Conch Fritters is pronounced: Konk Fritters
Thank you! You say potato and I say tomato.
@@jnlvideopostcards That doesn’t even make sense.
You might be right.
@@jnlvideopostcardslmao tomato to maaaa to
Going in Sept 2023!!!
Hope you like it as much as we did!

I went to the rum place where they tell you the history and how the rum is made
It’s called John Warming’s Distillery and they have a great story behind their product.
Yes, I sail there every year on my cruises. I shop there and the prices have gone up
Our observation as well.
