Had a great spring break with family! Cruised the Western Carribean aboard the Norwegian Star.

We started with Easter Sunday mass at the Cathedral of St. Louis in New Orlean. Then enjoyed the jazz brunch at the Court of Two Sisters. We departed that night and stopped at Costa de Maya, Belize City, Roatan Honduras & Cozumel over the next 7 days.

Some fun pics of great scenery, hot weather, cold beer, a nice ship and of course my Rolex.

Enjoy

A nice way to end a poor winter.

Looks great! Hope you had a nice time...looks like you had a fun time!

Cruise ships have a particular meaningful significance to me. I have never been on one but the only time I was planning to go on one (even booked a year in advance and paid for it) was with someone I loved dearly. I wasn't interested in it initially but planned to go on one just for her as it was something she had always wanted to do. Things happened in life and she passed away before we could realise our cruise holiday that she always dreamed about. Instead of being on a cruise with her I was at her funeral with her in the month of that year we were supposed to be on the cruise. Now I can only dream about going on one with her. I think of her whenever I see or read about cruises. Sweet memories. Thank you.

That was supposed to be my itinerary on the Carnival Dream...but my cruise got canceled 2 days before sailing because of a generator problem......FAIL.

At least you had a nice time, they look like beautiful destinations!

Why do they build cruise ships like that? I know they're a far cry from the transatlantic liners of the first half of the 20th century but come on!

America's only true super liner, finished in 1952. Still holds the transatlantic speed record. 38.2 knots or 44mph...and over 100 feet longer than Titanic! Yes please

That's one good looking ship

Yes she was/is great BUT WHAT A SHAME. She lies rusting and rotting under the Walt Whitman bridge in Philadelphia. She is owned by NCL who has pledged to sell her to a non profit group. They have yet to raise the necessary funds. Her top speed has never been released but she can beat any modern cruise liner ( cruising forward at top speed) while she ambles in reverse!

A few final pics that I didn't get a chance to post last night. Plus a close up of my Sub LV in black "just because"

Thanks for all the comments

Hell, she can beat any modern cruise liner in reverse! That's what you get when you install aircraft carrier engines in an ocean liner! I love what Bob Hope said about her: "I hear the Cunard line gave her a 21 torpedo salute"

Anther sad fact is that all her interior fittings, furnishings and decor were stripped out to pay mooring fees, quite a few years ago. All that remains is a very sorry looking, once magnificent ocean greyhound, that appears to be on the brink of going to the breakers . . . . . .
