After a restful night at the Renaissance, it was off to the Ship.  Nothing has improved in the last two years so we still stood in line for an hour checking in.  Once onboard we headed to the Lido deck for a quick bite (after all it had only been 4 hours since we’d last eaten).  We took the time to explore the various decks and familiarize ourselves with the layout of our home for the next months.  Miami, the dolphin, came with us on this trip and has a prime place looking out our window.

Tonight was the Sail Away party at the pool on the Lido.  Live music by one of the groups onboard, oeuvres d’ors galore, and, what everyone came for free drinks!  It was a fun time and we left Ft Lauderdale mid-party.  As it had been a full day already, It was off to bed.
