On the Ship Fun

One of the fun things about the ship is that there is an abundance of photographers around with different props. You can take as many pics as you want, for no charge. Just pay for the one you want. Here is the one we choose.

A couple shot around the ship

No cruise is complete without towel animals!

Cruise Friends

One of the things enjoyable about the cruise, is that you can meet some wonderful people. Here are our tablemates we ate with nightly. Two couples from Canada, one from MI, and one from St. Louis.

Our waiter, Naidu, from India. He related that he has been working on cruises for over 30 years. He works 7 months on, two months off. While he is off he stays with relatives in India... No house payments!

In the Bahamas

Since it was a short cruise, we only visited the Bahamas, Freeport and Nassau. Although Freeport was smaller, we enjoyed it more, the people were much more relaxed and friendly. Here is one of the vendors we met in Freeport, Nathan.

 Here we are relazing and enjoying the pace of the Island.

Nassau was a much bigger port, more commercial. The Bahamas is a UK possession. Lots of reminders of the royalty...

There was a funeral of a fallen police officer while we were there, here is part of the procession.

One of the vendors at the Straw Market. He carved things out of coconuts, he allowed us to taste a bit of fresh coconut milk.

In the distance the Atlantis hotel.

 

Anniversary Cruise

We got back last week from almost two weeks of vacation. The first "leg" was a 4 day cruise to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We boarded the Carnival Ecstacy on March 22, This was my second and Fuzzy's first cruise. The weather was glorious and our Enhanced Driver's Licences worked well in place of a passport. Here is the ship:

We chose a porthole room, You can see the "circles" in the front of the ship. We had a pair of windows in our room. It was a nice option, much less than the cost of a oceanview room.

We snapped these shots at we left port. In the distance you could see the rocket launch site at Cape Canavaeral.
