When we awake Monday morning it is to overcast skies, but at least the rain has stopped. We can see the ship from our bedroom window so we know we’re good to go. After getting ourselves together, our car arrives and takes us to the cruise terminal.
Boarding was easy and the afternoon passed quickly. As it progressed the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon with low humidity and a very pleasant temperature. Just before sailaway, some friends came to our cabin for a little party. These were old friends I had cruised with before and new ones I met on the Cruise Critic Bulletin Board.
At 5:30 we cast off our lines and were on our way from Port Everglades for our trip eastward. The seas were very calm and as the evening progressed we saw a beautiful sunset off our stern. I hope in the next 6 days we’ll see several more just like it each evening.
