Got up at 5:00 got on the road about 5:30 headed for Ft. Lauderdale. The road was uncrowned that early in the AM.. Arrived in Ft. Lauderdale at 9:30.
We waited in the holding area until 11:30 ish..boarded the ship and went into the dining room to wait for the room to be finished at 1:30.
The room is nice, but small. Not too much room for all the luggage..nice balcony,
While we were waiting we saw many “small” yachts and fishing boats coming and going, A huge Carnival ship passed very close going out already partying hardy!
We were held up a while due to a “military maneuver” a submarine being taken out at the time we were to leave. The wait was not long and the Captain so good that we were underway,backed up and turned out to sea and I did not know that we had moved! I am glad that I did not miss the going out of the harbor..it is lovely there and I like waving to the folks along the way out.
It was a long day..so tired that I really did not want to go to dinner at 8:30. We got a table for 4 this trip and no dinner partners, which is a bummer as we always enjoy the new people that we meet and look forward to sharing our day over dinner. More later
