Need I say more????

 

I have seen this picture before :confused:. If I'm not mistaken there was quite a nice story behind it. I so love the old photo shots :)

I think I posted it on the RCI board in one of those other photo threads. I can still remember everyone waving and throwing streamers and confetti.... back when we didn't know it was bad! Of course, there was a place on Bay Street in Nassau where you could pick your turtle (just like you can pick your lobster from a tank), they would clean it, and Edna would make the best turtle for Thursday night dinner... which meant grits and turtle gravy for breakfast on Friday!! I loved going with her to pick out our dinner!

We were on the Yarmouth Castle the week before she burned, too.

This just says "VACATION" to me!

What I did on my summer vacation:

Roatan:

This is what you saw, many years ago, as you left Nassau... we lived there and would take the Bahama Star or Yarmouth Castle over to Miami to visit family and do some shopping. This is my uncle and a family friend waving good-bye at the port. Nassau sure has changed.

Great site, thanks! As you can see by my sig, we are "hurricane magnets" - :eek: so we are waiting to see what happens this year! (the sig does not show the land vacations we have had to evacuate due to hurricanes... add 3 more )

How much are those carnival tail/drink of the day glasses? I love them!

I'm not really sure, I just signed! I think it was around $10 - but don't hold me responsible for that info (it wasn't the first drink that day :D )

I got that one on the Holiday in March, they had them on the Fantasy in July, too. I had to take it to school and drink out of it for a week or so to ease myself back to the real world :)

Is this a Drink of the Day glass? Too cool!!!!

You can get whatever kind of drink you want in it.... that one has a margarita! Let the good times begin! :D

29 more days until my next DOD :D (but who's counting???)

This just says "VACATION" to me :D

When I was younger (much, much younger :D ) I lived in Nassau. My parents, grandmother, and I used to go to Miami to shop and would take the Bahama Star like a ferry.... board in Nassau, sail to Miami, stay in Miami for a few days, and sail back on the Star. The ship seemed so huge back then... I remember standing on the top deck in Miami and throwing confetti and streamers during sail-away :) Guess I started my addiction early :D
