Land Ho.  
 

After  more than 14 hours of sailing at 8kts we have finally almost made it to Coco Cay.  Looks at those waves crashing of the hull.

 

I’m starting to think the captain only has learners permit with these speeds. (joke font on). 

[A&L_Ont]

We have docked but there are more photos to come.

Breakfast at Chops. 
 

What will we find in the butter dish?

 

Nothing to see here, other than butter.

My favorite Pin benefit, breakfast in specialty dining.  No more trudging around WJ finding my food , then finding a table. 

 Just walk in, food is delivered. Nice and relaxed. No mob.

 On Oasis class, JR is my goto for breakfast, didn't care for Chops as much.

Happy anniversary!  I’ve been waiting to see if you were actually on this ship or if you scored that empty second bedroom in Sabrina’s Aqua Suite😂. Have a fantastic time and thanks for taking us all along

We are big fans of breakfast at JR. Everything made fresh and hot. Best breakfast on board.

A few photos from docking. It was beautiful with the sun out. 
 

 

Someone found the gym on Indy. 

 

 

 

Someone must be in the dog house. Sleeping on the balcony. 

 

 

Indy officers active on the wing bridge.

After breakfast we headed out to disembark. Not to those on Freedom, there was only midship disembarking. We found that out,after heading to deck one forward. 

 

Once we stepped off the ship the clouds opened.

Is it just me or does the top fruit melange look like a face by Picasso?

You know I think you’re right. I thought the banana would have got the comment first. 😃

Our home for today. 
 

 

Our friends arrived prior to us.  

 

[A&L_Ont]

And look who came to say hello, our friend Dinero. He is now a manager of one of the food venues here on the island. It’s always nice to see cruise friends along the way.

 

His first question was, where is Owen. LOL.

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

The weather has cleared and things are looking way, way better. We have floated, had some beverages and maybe a snack too.😉

The holes on the end are puzzling, I believe they held that banana down with a fork like it was going to get away and then sliced it.

I'm always amazed when running into staff who actually remember you like that.  They have seen thousands of people yet still have some nugget about you tucked away in their memory.

What cabana number do you have? Did you request it or get what you were given? We are going in 3 weeks and have had number 11 twice. Enjoy your day!

We are in #12. We have been in the same location in the other set of cabanas.  Enjoy it when your return.

Every time we have booked it, they canceled it.  Good to see it is going up.
