I was on the Bremen - I think in 1966- NY to San Juan, St. Croix, & St. Thomas. I was 16, hung out all night with a kid that was I think 15 in a lifeboat. I caught hell from Daddy the next morning.

The three guys that worked at JC Penny - ages 20-22 or so - jumped ship at the first stop because the other pax were really old & they were looking for a party. They should have hung around, because the Crew party, down in the crew quarters was pretty darn good (caught hell again :confused:).

I remember having dinner at the Captain's Table, the St. Croix beach with some of the crew, and my mother never ever getting on a cruise ship again because she was sooooo seasick.

I don't remember all of the fancy wood and brass on the boat, but I do remember getting the best sleep of my life with the vibrations from the boat lulling me to sleep every night.

Also remember going to the Casino in Puerto Rico. I was underage, but the dealer didn't care... he was 'feeding' me. That's also where I was told to never take insurance unless you have blackjack as well - by some Texan in a ten gallon cowboy hat!

Good memories.

Red nail polish goes with everything.

My last 7 day cruise I brought 3 white shorts, 3 kahaki shorts, 6 T shirts (That matched white +khaki) , 1 pr black pants, 4 "shiney shirts" if I went to casino, Jeans for first and last day.

Next cruise (in 3 weeks) I'll bring 2 white, 2 khaki shorts, 5 shirts that will match each, and leave the fancy stuff behind.

Jeans will be on my butt as we leave and as we return.

Just a thought. On my first couple of cruises I had matching EVERYTHING, just in case. Those days are long gone

I am bumping this thread in hopes of an updated answer.

 

We are heading on our cruise in 2 weeks and am hoping this rum is still available. Has anyone been there recently?

I am thinking it would be a great souvenir and a perfect xmas gift for friends:eek:

If you could get some BBD coasters, THEY would be a much better gift than the actual rum - it's really not something I'd give someone - especially if they'd make me a drink with it!!!
