That is the Atlantis resort/water park/aquarium in Nassau Bahamas.  A little pricey but beautiful fantasy decor.

IF I am reading the booking site correctly our cruise ship/dates are selling out much faster than the similar cruises so please do not procrastinate.  IF you are the gambling type and live in driving distance of New Orleans you might luck out and get a really good deal on last minute (2-weeks-ish) cancelled bookings.  Oh yes, the ship has a large casino......  ;-)

[Captain]

All cruises, including ours, have been cancelled for  the next 30 days.  More time to plan the 2021 SP Cruise I suppose. 

[Captain]

Royal Caribbean has apparently cancelled cruises through 2/28/21.  So far our SP Cruise is still on. 

[Captain]

After two  cruises being cancelled by the COVID plague we are beginning the planning for the 2022 SteamPunk Cruise.  There are are several proposals and may be more but the front runner in the poll would be a Panama Canal cruise in April 2022 Miami to Los Angeles with some interesting ports.  If you are interested in this process and are on FB see https://www.facebook.com/groups/189772278077087

[Captain]

The Panama Canal was started by France in 1881 so is pretty much all steamy.  (October 7th, 2023!)

[Captain]

The discount cruise site that I follow, Vacationstogo.com, just posted 55+ sales on these cruises starting at $535.00 & $369.00 tonight. That is 8 & 6 nights respectively with unlimited food and amazing amenities to enjoy with good people for less that $70./day.

The 2nd six day cruise departing on the 27th of March is on sale starting at $311./person.  See https://www.vacationstogo.com/fastdeal.cfm?deal=15462

Again, basically you find & book this cruise at the best price you can find (or we can help you find) choosing the early dinner seating (so that we can more easily do post dinner suchi) then PM me so that we can link reservations for seating and maybe, just maybe more onboard credits.
