We decided to sail again (for the 5th time) on the Bahamas Celebration to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday.

Once we paid the $30 for 2 nights parking, as usual,embarkation was dispatched with quiet efficiency and we were onboard and stowed our luggage in our stateroom, 7306 (an oceanview cat 4)and were soon on our way to deck 9 for lunch. Lunch is served buffet style with simple but delicious fare. If you like sail away parties and games, hang out here till sailing time. If not, there is entertainment in the Pub 437 on deck 4, the restaurant deck and

plenty of other places to just sit and relax and unwind. Invariably you will find the ship's comedian, Steve Zimmerman,(who by the way is one of the funniest men I know)(he just doesn't laugh enough) sitting in the corner in the Pub. He greeted us warmly, as did any of the other crew members with whom we have developed a relationship over the last 4 sailings. Read more
