It’s hard to believe that this is only day 2 of the cruise — we have been underway since about 5 pm on Sunday, with only a half-hour pause at the Bahamas in a vain attempt to see whether we could make our scheduled stop at Half Moon Cay (answer: no). So right now we’ve […]
Our port o’ call at Half Moon Cay (Bahamas) was cancelled due to strong winds and heavy swells (tenders are used to transport passengers to and from the island), so we spent the whole day at sea (with some strong swells, which seem to have died down in the last hour or so). Two sessions […]
No, no, no — just on a cruise. Or, more specifically, on the National Review 2012 Post-Election Cruise. Sandra and I went on the NR Cruise last year and had an absolutely wonderful time. This year, I suspect things will be a bit more pained, if determined. Maybe we’ll work to form a shadow cabinet, […]
I wanted to do a ‘day 7’ post last night, but I discovered that I was down to 15 minutes left on my on-ship wi-fi account, and they weren’t letting me buy any more minutes. I used those 15 minutes up just trying to change our seats for our flights home today, which should give […]
Next-to-the-last day of the cruise. Spent the whole day at sea today, on our way from St. Thomas to the Bahamas, sailing past and north of our previous stops at Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. This meant more panels and activities today, and some great panels they were, including one on the realities of political […]
Almost wrote “day 6” up there, but then realized I was a bit ahead of myself. Arrived in St. Thomas (USVI) relatively early this morning — around 7:30 or so. Sandra and I opted for a bit more leisurely activity today: a bus tour of parts of Charlotte Amalie (the capital of St. Thomas) and […]
At least, I think it’s day 4. The days are all starting to blur a bit; I’m grateful the ship changes the carpets in the elevators every day to let you know which day it is, or I’d be even more blurred. Great times, great sessions. Andrew McCarthy and John Yoo; Bernard Lewis and Victor […]
The internet is still flaky and slow (and will undoubtedly be so until we arrive back in Florida on Saturday). Another great day, which started with our ship arriving in port for the first time since leaving Florida on Saturday: Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. This morning, Sandra & I went ‘power snorkeling’ (think: snorkeling […]
I’d like to post more, but the onboard ‘net access is expensive, slow, and flaky. Great sessions today: Jay Nordlinger interviewing Fred Thompson and John Sununu about running for president; a rather frank panel discussion on the potential 2012 Republican candidates involving John Miller, Tony Blankley, John Fund, Mona Charen, Robert Costa, and Raph Reed; […]
