Embarkation Day

Friday, April 29th we awoke at the hotel.  We looked out the window and could see our cruise ship.  We were the middle ship.

We had breakfast at the hotel with Bette, Jim, Syrena, and Gene who had flown in the night before.  We all got taxis and headed over to the ship in the early afternoon.  Wayne took a picture of the Miami skyline from the back of the ship.

This was our hotel.

After the luggage came I unpacked things and put them away.  Then it was time for our lifeboat drill.  Ours was in the casino and the crewmember who did our demonstration was one of the members of the Tideflats: A Cappella group.  He was very funny and the group which we heard later was very good.

We finished unpacking and then we went to dinner at 6:00.  We are at a table with Bette, Jim, Syrena, and Gene.  Our waiter is Constantine and our busboy is Moe.  They are both lots of fun.  We went to the show after dinner and then off to bed.
