I saw the Starward about 8 years ago in Kusadasi, Turkey and Athens, Greece renamed the Orient Queen. Sadly, google tells me it was renamed again and scrapped in last couple of years. She looked good with those distinctive NCL twin funnels.

We also, sailed on Sunward 2 and Skyward. Pretty simple stuff back then. Sun deck, steel drums, , rum punch, midnight buffet, bingo, comedian and would you like the chicken, beef or fish entree. Hot dogs and hamburgers on the fantail.

I miss the small boats but I'm also amazed how I don't keep running into same people and don't wait in line on these mega boats.

I remember when shore excursions were a last minute thing and written on chalkboards.

And yes you could pack your own booze and buy booze in st Thomas. Also, boats stayed in Nassau late night/all night for gambling.
