A three-day cruise to the Bahamas full of New England Patriots fans, with the fun-loving Rob Gronkowski as the star attraction. Who thought this was a good idea?
Apparently, the ship returned to port Monday none the worse for wear. What happens on a cruise ship doesn’t stay on a cruise ship in the age of social media, and passengers and tight end Gronkowski himself sent out running updates of the high jinks.
The ship was the Norwegian Pearl, a 965-footer with a spa, casino, bowling alley and, perhaps most important, 13 bars/lounges. The Gronk Cruise left Miami on Friday for the Bahamas with 2,300 passengers, 700 as part of the Gronk Cruise and the other 1,600 apparently in for more than they bargained for.
