Our cruise day vacation started out with a pretty long travel day. We had to be at the airport by 4:30 am for our 6:00am flight. We weren't able to get a direct flight to Miami, so we had a layover in Charlotte, NC. We didn't land in Miami until 1:50 and actually didn't make it to our ship until 3:15! To say the least, we were so happy we made it!
After getting to our room, we had to participate in the safety drill. The safety drill only lasted about 20 minutes and then it was time to explore the ship! We quickly found the 24 hour pizza bar and helped ourselves to our first of many slices of pizza!
I wish I would've taken pictures of us leaving Miami, because it was beautiful! I quickly learned to carry my camera everywhere! We left Miami around 5:00pm.
After we pulled out of port we headed to our rooms to unpack. For our trip we had the late dinner seating at 8:15
Here's a picture of B and me at our first dinner.
After dinner we headed to the "Welcome Show" on the ship. Before the show started we were surprised by an unexpected announcement by the Captain. He had to let everyone know that due to a serious health issue of another passenger, the ship was having to turn around and head back to Miami to let the sick person off the ship. Due to us having to turn around, we were not going to be able to stop the next day in Half Moon Cay, Bahamas and would instead have two days at sea before our stop in St. Thomas. Everyone was very shocked by this announcement. Even though we were disappointed about not stopping in the Bahamas, we weren't going to let this unexpected event ruin our trip! We were ready for a couple fun days at sea! After the show everyone was pretty tired from the day of travel, so we headed to our rooms for bed!
