I believe the cruise was in 1973, I was 16 and the Bahama Star was crowded with a convention of handbell ringers from all over the southeastern U.S. One bell ringer of 15 years old caught my eye and there began some dating and after five or six years, a wedding.
Our memories of the cruise were mostly of not seeing much of the chaperones, and perhaps that was a good thing from our point of view at the time. A song in the jukebox out on the pool deck was Elton John's Benny and the Jets, and I cannot hear that song without being transported back to that deck and the romantic moments of those few days.
The story of how I met my wife has been a delight to tell over the years.
