A 10-day Caribbean Cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau (Bahamas), Tortola (BVI), St. Thomas (USVI), Montego Bay (Jamaica), Grand Cayman and Cozumel (Mexico). This cruise was to include St. Croix but due to Hurricane Hugo in 1989, we visited Tortola instead. Left - In this photo, we were on our way to visit Nassau. Right - One of the formal nights. Ma and I looking sharp! We sailed on the Sky Princess. The cruise was from March 8 to March 10, 1990. |
Is it really better in The Bahamas? |

April 19, 2020 - I began cleaning out my closets a while back since I decided to rent the small room of my apartment to a friend. I had to shift things around which had been stored in the closets to make space. In so doing, I decided to get rid of the many photo albums I had stored in the foyer closet. Damn, I did not know I had that many photo albums. Before shredding the photos/postcards and souvenirs, I looked at them and decided to keep a few. I will post what I saved and scanned on various pages. Some photos and postcards may be posted on other pages. Everything posted will be as scanned without adjusting the photo for color, clarity, etc. What you see is what you get. Watermark will not be added. No kallaloo here, just simplicity. Below are the photos/postcards/souvenirs being added. Keep in mind, some may be duplicates. Enjoy!!! |
Sky Princess (It should be noted that there is a new Sky Princess. It began cruising in October 2019. |
I have no idea why I purchased these stamps. |

The smoke stack of the Sky Princess can be seen. A Carnival cruise ship is docked next to the Sky. I think I took this photo from the Water Tower. |

As we were leaving Nassau, I took this photo of the lighthouse. |
"Sky Princess sailed her last cruise for Princess Cruises in October 2000, arriving in Sydney on 23 October, where she was to be transferred to P&O Cruises Australia under the name, Pacific Sky, after a $10 million refurbishment at Cairncross Dockyard in Brisbane." Wikipedia |
