Won't You Let Me Take You on a Sea Cruise

It' Super Bowl Sunday and we are aboard a Carnival ship headed back to the states from the Bahamas.

This little thing was headed into berth as we were departing the ship for a bit of a stroll on the streets of Nassau.

It had been quite a few years since we were last here, and I cannot say it looked any different.

The people had a lot of smiles, and it would be understandable with 7 cruise ships in the harbor.

 

Some of the ships in harbor may have had different thoughts however, as this one carried the jolly roger at the top of its mast.

There were not a lot of the crew members on board, they must have been into the local pubs looking for volunteers to sail the ship.

Ironically the gun ports were all open and they were pointed in the direction of the large ships in harbor.

I asked if Blackbeard was nearby, and they thought he was off chasing Captain Jack Sparrow. Not even the pirates like each other.

We left her quickly as I did not want to be pressed into service on this ship.

 

 

The stop in port was not very long and it was time to leave. As we left harbor there were still 5 ships at berth waiting for the passengers to file aboard.

It has been a long time since I spent 5 days in warm weather and didn't hit a golf ball. I need to get back to my type of vacation.

They didn't have any sort of driving net on the ship where you could have taken in some range?  You gotta keep that swing loose, haha.

Will Hamm   We don't take a lot of cruises, but this seemed like a fun run.

Hannah Williams   The vendors in the straw market are funny. If they don't have something they tell you to wait a minute and go to a friend and come back with 3

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400    With this ship next to the cruise ships the title was kind of easy.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   The style of cruise is a standard it's the help on the ships that make it memorable.

Bill Salvatore - East Valley   The crowd at the sites on ship watching the super bowl were loud with high emotions.

George Souto   I guessed that with 7 cruise ships all in at the same time they had to have a minimum of 20,000 if all got off the boat.

Myrl Jeffcoat   If you look closely at the center mast there is a jolly roger, but it wasn't at full furl.

Thanks for the recognition.

Kathy Streib   This trip is so I can play golf, and I played once already back in Herndon, Virginia.  I would have stopped to visit with an illustrious AR member if they were still there.

Brian England  At my age too much swinging can be harmful

Hi Ed:

Thanks for taking us along to Nassau - hope you had a wonderful cruise. I enjoyed the photos. But what a rude awakening to come back to all that snow!

Great title it got me humming the tune!
