Anchors Aweigh for The Bristal at East Northport

Residents at The Bristal at East Northport set sail on an immersive voyage through cruise ship history and culture without ever leaving port. 

The day began with a buffet-style lunch inspired by classic cruise ship menus, complete with all the trimmings. Afterward, Lifestyle Director TJ, who is certified to work on cruise ships, led a fascinating lecture that charted a course from the Titanic to today's mega-liners, highlighting how cruising has shaped travel over the intervening years. 

The adventure continued with a cruise ship museum, featuring model ships, vintage memorabilia, and interactive maps of famous cruise ship voyages. Residents tested their knowledge with trivia, honed their nautical knot-tying skills with the Men's Club, and even stepped inside a recreated cabin display. This "Day at Sea" experience revealed behind-the-scenes stories of passengers and crew members, offering a glimpse of life beyond the stateroom doors. 

The day ended on a playful note at the Sail Away Party, where residents learned the whimsical, hospitality-centered art of towel-animal folding, just like they might experience on a real cruise. 

From history and culture to fun and games, it was an immersive journey at sea to remember.
