Sail-away was great. Much music and champagne. We left port about 5:00 PM. The following day we had our Cruise Critic Meet-and Greet. MaryAnn (Wowzo) did a great job. We all had name tags and got to meet some great fellow travelers. The chief purser, captain, cruise director and assistant cruise director all came to our meeting.
Tomorrow we finally get to set foot on land; Aruba. Since we have been there two times before, Sara and I will just go into town ourselves and do a little shopping. I will take pictures and share them with all of you. By the way, I have found that it doesn't matter if you drink or not; nobody can walk a straight line the way the ship is moving about. Pass me another glass of wine, honey.
Update: Today is Saturday and we will arrive in Aruba about 1.5 hours later, due to the weather. No rain, just strong winds. It will be nice to get off the ship and walk a straight line again.
Hi Ken and Sara,
ReplyDeleteWell it is about time! (big grin)
What captain do you have? On the Tahitian Princess world cruise last year we had a captain who didn't appear to use the stabalizers and we bounced and rolled all over the place. When he went on leave we got a different captain and magically the ship stabalized. When I asked the officers about it they said the stabalizers had been used the whole time but the difference in how the ship behaved was dramatic.

Hey guys!
ReplyDeleteJust checked out your blog for the first time. Neat-o! I'm geussing you are in Aruba now or maybe on your way somewhere else?
I hope the weather is nicer there than here in Bradenton, Grey, cold and windy --BLAH!
Have a great time and hope the sailing goes more smoothly.
Sue & Stan
