Well we made it. We're onboard the Norwegian Sun sitting at the dock in Miami awaiting departure in a few minutes.
The ship is gorgeous, a floating hotel if you will. The room is small but I don't think we'll spending to much time in the room except for sleeping, showering and changing.
We had a quick lunch on the upper deck near the pool.
The crew was handing out free Pina Coladas and there was a four piece smooth jazz band playing poolside.
After boarding the ship and eating light lunch we went back to our room only to be hailed over the PA system by the cruise director that we had to attend the mandatory lifeboat drill, wearing our lifejackets.
Ah, a sea of orange on deck, yup, you had to wear the life jacket for this drill to show you knew how to put it on in case of an emergency.
It was very comical and everyone couldn't wait till the drill was over and yes the ship's crew did take attendance to make sure everyone complied with the
drill.
This is the first time I've logged on using the Sun's Internet Cafe. The connection isn't quite as fast as DSL but it's better than dial up but not by too much. I hoping the speed will improve once the ship is underway.
haha sounds like fun. enjoy the warm weather!
