Kim and I woke up around 7:00 AM and got ready for the day in Miami. We needed to return the car to the airport by 10 AM. So we went to a grocery store and bought some bagles, juice, cream cheese and doughnuts. Once everyone was ready, we piled suitcases into the car and headed to the airport. Prior to going, I had called Alamo to see if they had a shuttle to the Port of Miami...and by George...they did. For free! So we jumped on that shuttle and arrived at the Cruise terminal around 11 AM. After waiting in line to officially check in, we boarded our ship. The ship has 15 decks. We are on deck 9 and the very back of the boat. The rooms are really clean and very nice.
Upon boarding the boat, we headed immediately to the buffet for lunch. What a nice buffet it was. Everything you ever wanted. Salads, Italian, Indian, Asian, French, etc. foods. So good. After eating we went up by the pool and laid around listening to the bands and watching people....pretty crazy. At 4:00 PM we set sail. The boat is so smooth....you don't even know that you are moving.
At 6:00 PM....it was time to eat again! Prime Rib, great appetizers, soups and salads and crazy good desserts. They are going to have to roll my off this ship. After eating, we went to their nightly show, a stand up commedian named Steven Scott. He was really good at imitating people and things. After the show, we walked around a bit and then headed to bed. We're all still pretty tired from travelling.
At this point, I dion't know when we will be able to upload this blog. For internet on the boat (unlimited)...comes at teh bargain price of $299. That's a deal! I might be able to upload when we get to islands. We'll see. I also hope to get some pictures on my IPAD that I can post too. We'll see.
Day 2 is in the books and it has made us excited for our day at sea and eventually all our island excursions. More to come....
Leaving Miami....
