All inclusive and a wonderful entertainment team, the days passed very easily. We sailed from La Gomera to St Thomas where the American police investigated the 5 deaths that had occurred as we crossed the Atlantic, 2 crew and 3 passengers. The Americans were also concerned about the age of the ship and apparently threatened to stop the cruise. Our Captain was Greek and we always sailed away to Rod Stewarts 'Sailing'... he was an entertaining character Our final leg was from Columbia, Venezuela, up the string of Caribbean islands to finish in the Dominican Republic. We loved the ship and managed 2 more cruises in her.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091114732482945611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831057916973854117.post-30379330883544891602016-01-30T02:18:08.876-08:002016-01-30T02:18:08.876-08:00Great ship and great times, Great ship and great times, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831057916973854117.post-56301542791215270222014-03-12T04:33:52.794-07:002014-03-12T04:33:52.794-07:00This was a stunning ship and was filled with histo...This was a stunning ship and was filled with history.
