SS Carnival Victory, a
893 ft., 101,509 ton Destiny Class cruise ship operated by
Carnival Cruise Lines.
(Compare that to the USS Little Rock, a 610 ft., 15,205 ton
warship operated by the US Navy!)
|
USS Little Rock crew and their guests enjoy a
view of New York City as the Carnival Victory gets underway. This is
from something like the 06 level!
|
We pass Miss Liberty as we depart New
York City.

Passing under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
on the way down the Hudson from New York City
to the open sea..

A view of the atrium/lobby, looking up.
Yes, those ARE elevators!

With senior crew members from CL-92 aboard,, the
trip was sure to be safe and efficient. Left to right:

The passengers enjoy a Bingo game in what could pass for the hanger
deck on the USS Reagan!

Paul Holbrook provides us with a formal
"Welcome to St. John...." sign.
|
And a bagpiper welcomes us at the pier in St. John!
|
St, John provides some of the Little Rock ladies with opportunities for
shopping, sight-seeing, bargain-hunting, shopping, fine dining,
shopping,
and LOTS more!
|
And the tour guides were pleasant, efficient, and
good looking too!
|
The "crew" from the USS Little Rock Association take
time out from their business meeting for a group photo.
|
One of many fine meals aboard the Victory.
The Perillos, Lapores, Schappels and other "Little Rocker's" wait to
see what the messcooks have in store for them.
|
Smiles like this means these are happy sailors!
The couple on the left is John and Kathryn Roberts.
The couple on the right is Frank and Gaye Berglas.
|
The famous "Reversing Falls" at St. John, NB.
As the tide comes in, the river reverses direction!
|
This St. John street scene is dwarfed
by the
SS Carnival Victory.
|
Little Rock Association members and their guests
"loosen up" before the evening banquet.
|
Sunset in Canada!

Enjoying time on deck as the Victory returns stateside.
