Casino Cruise, Two

1) Overheard as I ascended the gangway. Sterling serves a free all you can eat buffet during the entire cruise, along with free drinks, and dessert. Everything is fresh and tasty!

2) The Pilot Boat getting into position to guide the ship out.

3) I hear everything, and read all minds! Some were happy, some were sad, some were enamored. LOL

4) This one is for Coca Bixinhos and Neva!!

5) When you take the cruise and gamble, you can accumulate points on a Club Card that are redeemable for free meals at select area restaurants. We always choose the Florida Seafood Restaurant in Cocoa Beach, because it is simply awesome. This is a mural that adorns the wall of the outdoor deck.

Casino Cruise

1) A view of the Sterling Casino Cruise ship's smoke stack. The ship is huge and was impossible for me to shoot in one frame. It is billed as the "largest casino cruise ship in the world" in the promotional literature.
2) There are three decks at the rear of the ship where cruisers can get some sun, listen to music, and have a smoke.
3) Lifeboats are everywhere.
4) Cruisers enjoying themselves on the way out to the three mile limit.
