On March 8, 2009, Vinny accompanied Miss Eleonora Bonfini and Miss Donna Piro on a beautiful week-long Caribbean crusie! Vinny spent his week sailing the open seas to destinations such as: Grand Turk at Turks & Caicos Islands, San Juan Puerto Rico, St. Thomas/St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. Of course he was the center of attention, and by Day 2, everyone on the ship knew him and called out to him by his first name! He was such a huge hit that the comedian is even using "Gangster" Vinny in upcoming comedy routines! Vinny enjoyed fine dining, gambling, swimming in the pool, mountain climbing in the rain forest of Puerto Rico, and lounging on the white sandy beaches of Half-Moon Cay!
