She was a beauty and brand new. The food was excellant but the entertainment was very old. They still put dance wax on the dance floors. We loved sliding from one side of the ship to the other to the music. No body else was young enough to dance.LOL

We hit nine islands in 14 days and I loved every minute of it. The islands were still fresh and the people friendly. We were the only ship in port most places. Oh for the old days of travel. It was a true pleasure. And I still have my guest list & a few papers.:)

Royal Caribbean -Nordic Prince (2 week Southern Caribbean-1972)

Home Line -Doric (1 week to Bermuda 1978)

Carnival -Festival 11 (?) day Southern Caribbean 1994)

Olympic -Voyager (19 day Amazon River 2003) This was special!!

I was engaged when we went on Doric in 1978 to Bermuda and I didn't know about picking up a waiter as a husband! I should have flirted with that cute little sailor in the striped shirt. He was always around close to me---but the boyfriend was , too! My man noticed the sailor and thought it was funny----well, if I had known how we were to turn out----I'd have ditched him for the sailor big time. LOL We had a fabulous time and loved the flat pizza every night. We were from Ohio at that time and I think the rest of the ship was from NY or NJ. And everybody seemed to be Italian except us!!!!

I'm hoping to go back to Bermuda in 2010--but I must stay down town in Hamilton like we did back then. HAL is the only cruise line that seems to be able to dock there now. Oh,,,,,those were the days, my friends.:)

And my husband (of 22 years) and I cruise about twice a year-or more. He has never been there.---as you can tell, he's not the one from 1978-thank gosh.:rolleyes:

I like to collect old plates off the cars but only if the name of the island or country is on it. So far Aruba is the neatest. It says "One Happy Island" Aruba.:)
