Saturday May 14 – Monday May 16, 2016
Joe from Jas Marine came to our boat on Friday afternoon. He determined that our problem was either with the alternator or the regulator. After some discussion, it was agreed that he would remove our alternator, and take it to a shop to be tested. We could hear the results on Monday.
As soon as Joe left with our alternator, I called the Grand Celebration cruise reservation line. Did they have an available cabin for the next day (Saturday)? Yes! There had been a cancellation. Bingo! We were in luck!
we hitched a ride on a Marina dockhand’s golf cart on Saturday from our boat to the property line of the cruise ship (practically next door). We had a queen size bed and a window in our cabin! And the seas were flat for our entire voyage to Freeport on Grand Bahama Island and back. Yeah!
We had a great time!
Loved our excursion to Taino Resort, and our complimentary ferry ride to the Port Lucaya Market Place, where we caught our bus back to the ship. Two highlights of our meals were Jim’s beef Wellington and my papaya sorbet.
We returned to the Port of Palm Beach on Monday morning. A trip to the Bahamas, the easy way!
