The Epic had Nickelodeon characters and activities on board for kids, so I thought my boys might like knowing I met a very large Dora. Hola!
JB played basketball a lot at the ship's court. One day a game was put together, shirts versus skins, and JB went up against a guy who was pretty tough -- serious about basketball, fought with JB over every rebound, etc.
Then, that night or the next night, we went to the show on board called "Legends," featuring a Steven Tyler, Lady Gaga, and Elvis impersonator. Guess who was the Elvis impersonator? Mr Basketball!
He recognized JB and said, "Hey, you're the guy I fouled the hell out of!"
Besides the fun on the ship, we also had ports. The ship went to St Martin, St Thomas, and Nassau Bahamas. In St Thomas JB and I took the ferry over to St John, one of our favorite places ever.
In St Martin we took the public bus for $2 (really a minivan) and went to Caho Beach, which is right by the airport. How close? Those are my knees, there's a plane coming in over the water.
And there's the plane overhead.
Here's JB in the ocean with a sailboat behind him.
I don't think we took any pictures in Nassau, but we had a nice time. We took the bus for $1.25 instead of an expensive taxi, went to the beach again, looked around the Straw Market, things like that.Next post -- seeing our boys again, and how on earth could they grow so much in just a week?!

The water looks so blue! I think your next cruise needs to be with us. I promise we won't cramp your style.
Judging by Elvis I bet you enjoyed the game of shirts and skins! Did you get pictures with the lady Gaga impersonator?
I should have. And with Steven Tyler. They were spot on. I saw him around the ship. Still looked like Steven Tyler.
Sounds like the perfect vacation!
Your vacation sounds better than mine! I'm so jealous. All we had for entertainment was a hard-working but lame dance troupe and a couple of foul-mouthed comedians telling racist jokes - but it's totally okay because they were black (right...). Oh, and a mournful singer/guitar player on the casino deck who flat-out refused to sing any Buffet songs, which I thought was hilarious. Still, at least we couldn't see the shower from our beds! :P
