That's funny. I just missed you. My wife and I sailed on the Amerikanis in July of 1991 on our honeymoon. It was my first cruise and was very memorable.

I was just thinking about the first cruise I ever took - Candris Line, I was wondering what ever happened to that Line and Ship. I sailed her 18 years ago on my honeymoon. Anyone else?

Wow! That brought back memories! My wife and I sailed on the Amerikanis in late July, 1991 for our honeymoon. It was my first cruise and I didn't know if I had so much fun because of the cruise experience or because I was on my honeymoon :rolleyes:

We did a southern Caribbean itinerary that left out of San Juan on a Monday. The service was excellent. The food was incredible, and the attention we got from the staff was unmatched.

Although she was an old ship by then and didn't have the stabilizer technology modern ships have today, I think that added to her character. Though the first night at sea from Curacao to San Juan was really rough and I don't think anybody was thinking about the ship's character that night. Just "where's the Dramamine?"

It's definitely a memory I carry with me to this day (the cruise, not the seasickness!). I was very sad when I heard she was scrapped.
