Shore Excursions
The cruise lines really hype up their shore excursions, and for good reason: In addition to selling alcohol on board, this is one of their main revenue streams. Many of the excursions are overpriced and can be put together on your own, especially in Nassau, Bahamas. If you’re just looking for a day at the beach, hire a cab and ask the drive to take you to the nicest one in the area. You don’t need the cruise ship to plan this for you. You can also hire your own car or moped in Nassau. In addition many of the same-day trips can be booked with independent operators as soon as you get off the ship.
If you are someone who will constantly worry about getting back to the ship in time for departure, go with the ship’s group; they will definitely arrive in time. The ship will not depart if one of it’s excursions is running late.

Chocolate Coconut Cupcake Cooking Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the large muffin tins with large cupcake liners.
Put the butter, coffee, water, and cocoa in a microwave-safe
bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on HIGH until the
butter melts, about 2 minutes. Whisk to combine.
Meanwhile, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder,
salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat the sour cream with the egg and vanilla in a small
bowl. Whisk the hot cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir in the sour
cream mixture just to combine; don’t over mix. Divide the batter evenly between
the prepared muffin tins, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full (about 2/3
cup per cupcake). Bake cupcakes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the
cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Cool the cupcakes completely in the tin on a rack. Remove from
liners and return cakes to a rack.
For the glaze: Put chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring coconut milk
and corn syrup to a boil, stirring constantly, then
pour it over the chocolate. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, then stir
until smooth. Spread 1 tablespoon warm glaze evenly over each cake, then
scatter the coconut over the top.
