Sail Away Views of Tampa & Vicinity:

 

We saw a different picture of the sail away today, as we went to deck 10 instead of staying on the balcony.

Hello, Bridge!  Remember me? I saw you around 3:30 this morning:

 

 

 

 

Leaving the bridge in our wake:

Apdmom appears your son has really grown several inches since we cruised on navigator couple of years ago.

I have a video of going under the bridge, but uploads are very slow again.  So, I will be back tomorrow with much more fun!  

 

Stay tuned for more info of the cruise compass, teen programs and kids programs.  🙂  Thank you for all the likes, comments, and views.  We are having a blast, and sharing multiplies the fun!

 Yes, he has indeed, George!  He is catching up with Ron, who is 6’4”.  It will not be long now 😁

Great bridge pics APDMOM! I expect the Diamond Lounge to be a zoo on our 10 night on Serenade in two and a half weeks so it's nice to see one without all of the monkeys. 🙂

I think you are right about the lounge.  The first leg was very quiet in here.  It is only day 2 of this leg and we can already tell it is more crowded.  🙂 Loving the view from here, despite a rainy day in Key West!

To close out our Tampa day, I will post the Cruise Compass and info from day one of this leg.  The dinner menu was the same as the first day from the first leg.

My View: End of Day 1, Second leg

 

It was another fun-filled night with “Finish that Lyric” and Rock-A-Rokie.  We had a blast at the Country Line Dance Party!  DH won me a keychain.  Fortunately, he was tootall to win a hat 😉

Great pictures, especially your second leg sailaway.  Thank you.

Thanks for posting menus.

Thanks again for the review and ride along.  Quick question did you have your seapass given to you at the dock (on the first leg) or was it waiting at your room?  I know the newer ships have the keys at your room now but wasn't sure if the Brilliance went to this or not.

You are welcome!  We received our seapass during check-in....  the old-fashioned (safe-in-my-opinion) way.  😁

My View: Second leg Day 2 - Key West

 

A rainy day:

 

 

[APDMOM]

This was truly a rainy day - not the typical Florida thunderstorm-in-passing.  Thankfully, the rain let up to a drizzle and occasional sunshine.  Some excursions were cancelled due to high winds and rough waters.  Here are some of my Views from the ship of Beautiful Key West:

I went on shore on my own just to capture some different angles of this Brilliant Beauty:
