MOTHERSHIP

The RCL owns a small island in the Bahamas called Cococay where the Royal Sovereign docked quite a far distance away from shore. Passengers were ferried to the island for lunch and to enjoy other water sports. I decided it was a good vantage point to photograph the 72,000-ton, 12-deck ship which was our home for 5 exciting days.

Location: Cococay Island, the Caribbean

DOCKED IN NASSAU

This is the harbor in Nassau where our cruise ship from the Royal Carribean Line (right) docked amidst the inviting turquoise waters.

Location: Nassau, Bahamas

END OF A CRUISE

After all the fun everyone had on the 5-day Caribbean cruise, this empty and forlorn deck aboard the Sovereign of the Seas is what's left by the end of the afternoon on the last sailing day.

Location: The Bahamas
