Wow, what a fun time from the moment we arrived at the dock. We had our check-in in a very timely manner & up the gang way to be greeted by many of the crew. Since we had checked our luggage, we went right to lunch. After lunch we walked around the ship checking our all the new additions. Then we went to our cabin & our luggage was there , so we unpacked before we went up on deck to watch us sail.
The places we saw were really neat & boy did we enjoy being warm (came from the cold snowy north ). Loved the Jungle in Costa Rica, the lock Panama, Going to Bonaire for the first time, seeing Aruba & St Martins again. All great tours.
Back to the ship, we got to meet so many wonderful people, who we had talked with on Cruise critic Roll Call for over a year. We did so many things together, such as meet & great, slot pull, pub poker & sock hop just to name a few. Had tea every afternoon on sea days & boy were the goodies delicious.
Crew kept stateroom clean. Checked twice a day.
We arrived in Tampa on Fri afternoon & just hung around the hotel. did take the shuttle to a mall just for something different to do. Ate our meals at the Best Western hotel where we were staying.
