Day 5 March 17 Grand Bahama

We docked in the Grand Bahama island. Another ship that docked there was the Margaritaville. It is quite a bit smaller than the Carnival Legend carrying only about 650 passengers and having only 10 decks. It currently does three day cruises out of Palm Beach Florida. And, yes, they have a Jimmy Buffett quote on their website,............................................................................................................... " To me, the only thing better than being on a beach by the ocean, is to be on the ocean. Now you can follow in our wake..." Again I used the spa but this time the people who went ashore came back earlier and the spa got too crowded to use by about 2pm.

March 19 Final Day of Cruise

Image
From noon on the 18th it started getting cooler and then colder. By the time it was March 19, it was quite cold. The image is when the ship went under the Francis Scott Key Bridge which carries I-695 around the east side of Baltimore. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... We got to the Port of Baltimore by about 1000am. We mustered in a social hall in the forward section of the lowest usable deck. We got our baggage about 1130. It was quite a way to the "Pick Up Area" where you could call a cab, Uber or be picked up by a friend (I don't know why the Port of Baltimore doesn't make this easier for people after disembarking - it seems to me there is plenty of room for a closer "Pick up Area" but maybe they have reasons. My Uber ap wasn't working

Day One - March 12

Image
We boarded the ship about 230pm. It left the dock by about 5pm. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. It wasn't dark yet and we got a look at the Chesapeake Bridge that carries US 50 across the Chesapeake Bay. We ended up eating in our stateroom as Ann's walker wasn't delivered by suppertime. It was cold outside and not great for sitting on the balcony (yes we got a room with a balcony- woo hoo).

Also Day 5 - Ice sculpture March 17

Image
I was finished with the spa but hung around on deck for the ice scupturing. These two images were taken only about 35 minutes apart. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Somehow this has became a staple of cruising entertainment. The guy who did the sculpture said he 'had to study and practice for two years' before his first paid sculpture performance but he has now been doing it for about 6 years. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ The temperature was back down in the low 70s that day (about 7 degrees below the long term average) and cloudy.
