It's been a long time in preparation for this upcoming World Cruise. In fact it's been 567 days since we booked this cruise and now tomorrow at 4:00pm we will be sailing away from Fort Lauderdale.
After breakfast tomorrow, our friends, Leslie and John will be taking us to the cruise terminal for check-in and boarding. We are really looking forward to seeing friends from last year's world cruise and seeing many returning crew members. Of course there is the unpacking, arranging the stateroom, muster drill, and all the other administrative things we will need to do to get settled in and begin the cruise. The ship should have a grand sail-away celebration on the top open desks as we slowly pass through the channel and head out into the Atlantic. First stop after sail-away will be Aruba.
Bon Voyage to all our other passengers!!!
