Thanks for everyone's info on the fate of the BAHAMA STAR. I remember the room being Ssooo Small..for the 4 of us.. And the bathroom/shower was all together. We did see the Emerald Seas ..sister ship.. And it was so much nicer..and newer, we were jealous. During our cruise we had a terrible storm..rocked the shipped.. And during dinner..all the lights went out.. But, thankfully, the crew brought out flaming Alaskas..desert...it was all planned.

My dad and I won a shuffleboard tournament..and we beat some guys who were upset they lost to a kid and his dad.. That was funny. I got an ashtray because we won.. How funny... There was also a big fight outside our cabin one night..the crew and guests got into it. My mom was really frightened.. Great memories.. But my first cruise was fun... Thanks bahama star .. ! R.i.p. Somewhere...:(

My first cruise was with my family.. On the Bahama Star. This had to be in the early seventies.. Maybe 1972. Our family of four board the ship in Miami..I think.. Then set out on a cruise to Nassau and Freeport. The ship was exciting for me, As a child.. The room was super small..with the bathroom being airplane like small ness. I remember docking in Nassau.. And seeing its sister ship, the eastern star also in port. We were all jealous, as the Eastern Star was sooo much nicer.. my dad booked our ship , due to its additional destination to Freeport...which the eastern star did not. Well, we had a terrible storm at sea.. And the ship decided NOT to proceed to Freeport anyways. While in port, late at nite, some of the crew got in a huge drunken brawl outside our cabin. I remember my mom being so scared and upset. Guys were punching each other..while in our hallway, falling onto our door! We heard it all nite.

While our food was fine..and I had some fun memories made..we NEVER heard of the Bahama Star sailing again. Not sure if we were on one of the last voyages or not.
