Enchanted Isle

Caribbean Princess is underway

Commodore Cruise Line Enchanted Seas in 1994. Been on many since then

I was aboard QE2 with family sailing to New York. The ship left South Hampton Sunday 9/9. Planes hit Tuesday. I was in my cabin when the Captain announced over the PA that they were cancelling some activities due to the events that occurred in NYC. I had no idea what he meant, so I turned on the TV and it was on the news. Satellite reception was marginal by Tuesday, and gone by Wednesday. We had to get our info from the ships news bulletins each day. QE2 was diverted to Boston. We arrived early am on 9/15, but had to wait outside the harbor as a bomb threat had been called in for the harbor. We waited several hours until we sailed into the harbor with small gun boats all around us. We finally got of the ship after 5 pm and had to be bussed up to our hotel rooms in Manhattan, just a few blocks from the towers. Police were everywhere in Manhattan and several roads were closed. The smoke was terrible as we made our way. We finally made it to our hotel and that's when I finally could watch the news and was horrified/infuriated with what I saw. We flew out of JFK the next morning, Sunday. As flights had only recently resumed, I was worried that it would be a nightmare to fly that day. To my surprise, however, the airport was deserted so we made it through quickly. That was one memorable cruise.

Having sailed on the Seas once and the Isle around 20 times, I get sad every time I read about the demise of them. Anyone remember Bobo Mike, the Jamaican bar waiter on the pool deck on the Isle? Just curious.
