 Jimmy Buffet has a great song entitled "Stranded on a Sandbar", check out the lyrics, I believe everyone can relate to this song, but I digress, this story is about being stuck on a sandbar off of Nantucket, Maine.

Now when I say I was stuck, it was not like I was snorkeling and got my body stuck, the cruise ship I was working on ran aground at night on this Nantucket sandbar.

Here is how I remember it:

I had just gone to bed in my cabin, as the next day was "turnaround day", the day the cruise ends and new one begins. All of a sudden, I hear the bow thrusters of the ship start up, I sat up in bed thinking, that is funny, we can't be in port yet (they always start up the bow thrusters just before coming into port).

I looked out my porthole and saw that we were not moving and I could see some lights off in the distance. Then over my cabin speaker, I heard the cruise director say, "good evening everyone, this is your cruise directory here to inform you that the Royal Majesty has run aground and that we are in no danger......etc.....
