“Lake freighters, or lakers, are bulk carrier vessels that ply the Great Lakes of North America. These vessels are traditionally called boats, although classified as ships.”   (The Edmund Fitzgerald was a laker.)

 

But why are they called "boats"?

Is it because they dont do/cant do yr round navigation?

Because they were made to travel on lakes and not oceans. I’m out of guesses and that’s all I could find searching for it. 😊

Glad to see the silent disco is back, I do not believe that was on some of the first cruises. Next step…. Bar seating.

Nope. Remember the *hint - think Great Lakes cargo.

I actually saw a few passengers sitting at the bar in Schooner last night.

All good things must come to an end (unless you're doing a B2B).

This cool model of our Adventure of the Seas was being displayed in an athwartship passageway on deck 9 (my deck).

 

The Logo Store sells smaller models of the AOS. I'm thinking of buying one and starting a tradition of collecting a model of the ship for each cruise I'm on. I have a nautical-themed study/den at home (shocker right?), so these cruise ship models would look good there.

I have one of those models for each ship that I've been on.

Nice. I'm going to do the same thing.

We've arrived at Freeport, Grand Bahama. As you can see, the Port of Freeport is more industrial than the Port of Nassau. I have a day pass for the Grand Lucayan Beach Resort (independent excursion, not RCI's). We have an early all back onboard time of 3:30 pm. Resort recommends giving 2 hrs prior to back onboard time, which is 1:30 pm. Doesn't leave much time at the Resort. I'm going to have to engage in "speed drinking". (Shut up liver, you're fine).
