Cruising the Bahamas on The Sovereign of the Seas

Polly Want a Cracker?  That's me doing my parrot imitation.  Huh?  You  wanted Pirate?  OK.  AARRGGG!

Shipboard life isn't exactly singing all together songs about rum and walking to plank and looking across the vast sea in deep thought.  It is more like PIG OUT TIME on the bottomless buffet. and getting your picture taken with the Captain.

However, when the sea got rocky, I did see several people throw up and somebody else slip and fall into the barf. "Yuk yuk" - as Popeye would say.

If you read some of my posts you may know that I mention how small the world is, a lot.  Here is another example;

In the middle of the Caribbean on the top deck, after eating at the ship’s Johnny Rockets.  We decided to pull up a deck chair and read.  We sat near an Indian (Far Eastern) family, a mother, mother’s sister, and a boy and girl, both preteen, that we saw in Johnny Rockets.   The mother and her sister were discussing books.  We heard a few books we read and joined in their conversation, uninvited.  They didn’t mind.  While getting to known them, they said they lived in Statesboro, Georgia.  Georgia, small world?  Wait, its gets better.  She said her husband, also on the cruise, but doing an activity is a gold dealer and also owns a Duncan Donuts in Statesboro.  They asked where we were from and we said Marietta, Georgia.  They were surprised, they previously lived in Marietta and owned a Duncan Donuts franchise there.  “Which one?” we asked.  And the lady had to think a minute, it has been years ago, then she said Sandy Plains Road.  Our son Adam’s first job was there.
