Familiarize Yourself with the Ship
by cjg1
As you board the ship there are maps available of the ship. Each level is shown in detail with highlights of the shops, lounges dining and bar areas. Signs and maps on each end and level of the ship are an easy way to see where you are and where you're going.
Travis McGee con't
by rmdw
So when I finally visited South Florida for the first time in May 2002, I just HAD to see if there was a Bahia Mar, if there was a Slip F-18 (where Travis' houseboat was reportedly docked), and if anyone there new about this now not so famous series of books.
Approaching the area my excitement grew to a fever pitch. I felt like a detective discovering the final clue in a long sought out puzzle. And finding the plaque was extra special.
One of the yacht owners there was an older fellow named Bob who was most impressed that I had tracked down this literary hero of mine.
A Nice English Style Pub
by cjg1 about Two Poets Pub(Navigator of the Seas)
Two Poets is the Englsih Style Pub on the Promenade deck. The hard wood tables and wooden walls give it a real pub feel. The wals are decorated with pictures of famous Eglish poets. The bar area has plenty of seating. There is also tables inside and lining the outside of the pub. We didn't realize at first that this was a smoking pub(gross!) so we just grabbed a quick drink and left. I had a beer and Liz had a dacquiri. Neither Liz or I tolerate public smoking especially when we are non-smokers.
It's a shame that such a nice place is ruined by cigarette smoke. I would have like to have hung out here but alas I prefer a smoke free environment. Casual.
