This is day 3 of our current Caribbean Cruise. The drive down from Palm Harbor went well and we found a good parking spot right across from the ship at the Lauderdale dock. Check in was a bit slow as there were many people there at the same time. We did meet up with someone that we know from the China trip but so far we seem to have recognized only 1 couple from any other trip. We are still looking among the 3400 people on board.
Yesterday was a sea day and we just sat around most of the day. I think that after the month of November we just needed a rest. Certainly the Black Friday shopping last week and the packing for both the trip and the the ride home also took some energy out of us. However we did manage to drag ourselves to the meals at the regular times.
Today we are at anchor in George Town, Grand Caymans. This is just another shopping stop for the cruise lines. Currently there is a Royal Carib ship in as well. We did go ashore and walked around but other than shops, there is very little of interest with a nice walk of the tender port. We will be taking tours the next 2 days so that will keep us a little busier. Actually we went ashore at around 9 and were back here by noon. Seen it all, did it all! It was still too early for a beer or a drink although it was humid enough. We headed back to the ship.
Actually they have a very nice little "cafe" station in the lobby. We sat and had some fresh shrimp and a prosciutto sandwich. Tiera Masu for dessert. That should keep us going until afternoon tea! Judy is at the pool (where else) and I am going there soon!
