[BAHAMAS BOUND]

We are first time cruisers and are going to be on the Sensation the same dates. Any tips or hints?? We are on Empress level. thanks. Are docs. should be here this week. They were sent Friday!!!:)

We usually go on 10 day or more cruises but we wanted a short fun trip in the fall. We took the cheapest way this time. We are also on the Empress deck. We have never been in a inside cabin (usually balcony). This will be an experience. We plan to stay on the island all day long --so staying in the cabin will be to shower and sleep.

 

Pack light--we scubadive so besides our dive gear we will just have a carry on with an extra folding bag for liquor or stuff to carry home with.

We live in Florida so we will be driving.

 

Shampoo is usually provided, soaps, sometimes toothpaste--if not just a small tube.

 

We are not eating in the dining room this cruise--but if you are have fun and dress up. It is so cool to dress up and have people wait on you hand and foot.

 

Are you planning a trip on the island?:cool:

Congrats!

 

We are sailing on the Elation September 24th, hope ours come soon! :D

“Doc Dance” Sends Two to Hospital; Injures Many

 

LYNOT REALSON

 

STAFF REPORTER

 

A cruise document dance turned catastrophic yesterday morning after a missed step caused a traffic disaster.

 

Emergency crews were called to 325 Dundas St. West where Mary Robbins, an avid cruiser, was struck by a passing auto after her traditional celebration dance for the arrival of her cruise documents went terribly wrong.

 

“She was jumping around, having a great time,” a bystander says, “when she tripped on a large crack in the sidewalk, and fell into oncoming traffic. It was horrible.”

 

The driver of the suspect auto was also injured, when he steered into two other cars, trying to avoid Robbins. This caused six other cars to come crashing into the scene, leaving many with bumps and cuts, but no other serious injuries.

 

Robbins’ family told The Star: “She won’t be doing the doc dance ever again. She has definitely learned her lesson. We just hope her injuries fully heal in time for her September sailing on a Carnival Cruise Lines ship.”

 

Robbins suffered from a broken arm, and the driver of the vehicle suffered two broken ribs.
