  1. Thanks for the message. Sounds like we were both bit by the cruise bug. I have been on seven with my son, including the Vista, Pride, Magic, and Horizon. We booked the Panorama but don't really like the ports it is going to. (Went to these ports when I worked for Holland America and not my favorites) So I switched it to the Mardi Gras in Nov. 2021. Probably go on another before then, I heard the Breeze is a good pick, according to Carnival staff that I know......

     

  2. Well I have been trying to remember to pull out some of the pictures from my time on the Caribe. I will do that and get back. I am certain I took your pictures. There were three photographers, so the chances are I took your pictures. I will get back. And it was not the most elaborate cruise ship but the crouds were always fun and friendly. Such fond memories.

     

  3. Ok so hope you're sitting down. Not only was I on the Caribe in 1985, I was one of the three photographers. I worked all 1985. Monday we went to Haiti and I took pictures of people on donkeys going up to the Citadel. Tuesday we were in San Juan, Wednesday St Thomas and Thursday Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata. Saved many of the pictures I took as souvenirs. We generally dumped them overboard but I hated the thought of dumping chemicals. Any other questions please feel free to ask. 

  4. Cruised on Caribe 1 with my family over New Year's 90-91, interior cabin. After reading these posts I'm sure it had to be the cruise I still remember as being so rough. The ship was just rolling. Fortunately it seemed to roll the right way as I fell sound asleep, like I was in a cradle instead of a bunk. I never wrote down which ports we visited. If anyone knows, please let me know. I think it was St. Thomas, San Juan and Puerto Plata. Don't know if they will let me keep my email on here or not. patriciavatta@hotmail.com

     

    Oh, and by the way, I bought a coffee mug on board and I still have it...and it has been used a lot!

     

    I worked as a photographer in 1985 most of the year. First stop Cap Hatien, Haiti excursion was up to the Citadel on donkeys. Tuesday was San Juan, Wednesday St.Thomas, Thursday Puerto Plata, DR. Fell in love every week for a week until the next cruise......Fond memories

  5. Thanks so much for your message. It is a shame that so much more has to be done to get the island back. I am now thinking that hiring a guide, or even taking a cab, and have the driver take us around the island to see and experience what the Puerto

    Ricans are still facing. A live and personal viewing could be quite an excursion in itself.

    Thanks again
