143.3A GREAT DAY TRIP REPORTHYEND::MNIKITASMon Aug 14 1989 18:5129
    Hi,
    
    Back home after a great two week vacation.  We were able to book
    a one day cruise to Freeport out  of Palm Beach last Monday.
    
    We booked on the CROWN CRUISE LINE and sailed on the VIKING PRINCESS.
     What a great trip.  We also reseved a cabin for the trip and I
    would strongly recommend that if you are planning a day trip to
    get a cabin.  
    
    During the morning orientation, we were informed that due to a Bahamian
    holiday ALL the shops would be closed.  :-(
    
    But the CASINO was open :-)    
    
    After a great day in Freeport it was back to the ship and a super
    ride back to Port of Palm Beach.  We got a little longer trip due
    to a PILOT BOAT malfunction.  I had no idea what that meant and
    after a few BAHAMA MAMA'S really didn't care.  Actually, the pilot
    boat was down so we waited outside the port for about an hour while
    they arranged for a pilot to be shuttled to the ship.   
    
    I am hooked on cruising and look forward to our next trip.
    
    
    Thanks for all your help and I'm sure as we go for the longer trips
    I'll have more questions.
