Goodbye Ft. Lauderdale, see you in a week:

Hopefully I have internet

 

 

I still don't have power or internet from that storm. I should have gone on a cruise this week.

Following are some pix of our stay at the Sheraton Beach Hotel on Friday. Weather was pretty crumby, hotel, not bad, probably would look to stay somewhere else next time, seems there are a lot of nice hotels in FL.

 

You can see (barely) the ship from this photo:

Fast forward.

 

Saturday, around 11:30, first shot taken on the ship, you enter on the Promenade.

 

WOW!

 

 

To be continued, it is now Coors Light time. Hope to post some more tonight and throughout the week.

 

Everyone have a great Independence Day, Happy Birthday USA!

Looks like a good thread in the development, our first stop, Labadee, and here is a pic that I stole from someone else, but, you get the drift, zipline:

Here is the landing area for the zip line, on the left:

We got on Labadee a bit early, we were scheduled for the 10:00 zip line, so we grabbed some loungers, sat here and watched others coming down.

Great review and photos so far :)

 

Watched you all sail away on the Port Everglades webcam and took this capture off the screen.!! 3 more months to go til Oasis for me.

Here is a pic coming in to dock.

 

Zip line cannot be seen from here, as it is to the left on the other side.

 

You are looking at the various beache areas. Columbus Cove is straight ahead, furthest from the ship. Cannot see Nellies or Barefoot, they are to the left.

The Aqua Suite looks like an amazing location for views. Did you get any pictures inside?

Food area, barbecue. No big deal, food was OK, chicken, did not really eat much.
