On our cruise to the Bahamas we visited Freeport aboard the Carnival Sensation. It was hot, hot, hot!! Freeport is a city in the Bahamas located on Grand Bahama Island which was our first stop where we boarded a bus for a day trip to The Royal Oasis Casino which is the largest casino in Freeport. Can you imagine a casino that is not opened 24 hours. This casino is open from 10am to 2am daily. Our trip to the casino was arranged by our travel host, Magic Moments Travel Club of NJ. The casino also has a rule about taking pictures. You might take a picture of someone and post it on the internet and this may cause them "problems" although you're only taking pictures of your group (and it′s okay with your group) it′s the ones in the background you have to be concerned about. Go figure. So before I left, I took a picture of the security guard and Rob. Mmm...should I post it or not, NOT! We had a wonderful time there at the little village across the street from the casino for shopping and dining.

Freeport
Freeport is a city and free trade zone on the island of Grand Bahama, located approximately 100 miles (160 km) east-northeast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is a district of the Bahamas.
Grand Bahama Island is the second most popular tourist destination in the Bahamas. Here you will find long stretches of deserted clean-white beaches, inviting hotels, one major casino, night-time entertainment and world-class scuba diving facilities and land and sea sports.
Freeport is the resort center of the Island where much action can be found. On the eastern and western ends of the Island are serene and quaint settings and finding a hide-away spot is relatively easy. Shopping is also a feature as one can stroll through Port Lucaya Marketplace and discover duty-free treasures from around the world.
