Day 6 - Another sea day. Time to Bolt!

Day 6 finds us at sea en route to Nassau. We took the opportunity to reschedule a ride on the Bolt roller coaster.


Bolt is styled somewhat like a motorcycle.  Like a motorcycle, the driver controls the speed with a twist throttle on the right handlebar.  Bolt adds a "boost" button.  Over your 45-second or so ride consisting of two passes around the track, you get about 10-seconds of the boost to make your ride even more thrilling.

Here are Brian and Nancy making the first run. You can determine for yourself who was having more fun.



Arlona was next, riding solo.




I think Arlona is enjoying it!


Finally, here I am, bring up the rear.



I have to admit that we all were impressed. Bolt is quite fun, even if, at $15 for a 45-second ride, it is a little pricey.  That is especially true for tandem riders as they each pay $15.  We think $15 solo and $20 for dual riders would be fairer.

Arlona tried her hand at the high ropes course.


The course consists of about 13 different platforms, many with a choice of two courses to reach the next platform.


One of the courses includes a zipline that takes you over the water, 19 floors below you.


That didn't phase Arlona at all, as she made a second trip around.






After some chow at Guy's Pig and Anchor, we suited up and headed for the pool.  Arlona, Brian, and Nancy all took turns on some of the water slides.  Here's Arlona on the way down.

And here comes Brian.

Let's call Arlona's arrival semi-graceful.




Nancy opted for the yellow side slide.  Arlona headed back up and tried all three.  After the adventures, we spent time in the pool and hot tub before heading to the room for showers and to get dressed for the last elegant night.


Today's towel animal approved.




After dinner, we enjoyed live music at the center stage.

After that, we headed upstairs for some live comedy before calling it a night.  Happy trails!


Tomorrow is the final day of the cruise, and the final port, Nassau.
