There's one last thing to do before going to the top deck for a "sail away" party: By international regulations, you must participate in a life boat drill. Everybody dons their life jackets and heads for their muster station. They count noses and then we adjourn to poolside on the top deck to enjoy the scenery as we leave Miami.

Of course one of the primary attractions of cruising is the food. It didn't take us long to discover lots of favorite places to eat. Here's a shot of Angie enjoying breakfast in the Windjammer cafe just after we arrived in Nassau, Bahamas. Just sit back and relax and let the scenery go by!

Of the seven days and nights on board, most were very informal. Two nights were designated as "formal" for the dining room. We men had to get back into at least jackets and ties and the ladies got to show off all their finery as well as their "purchases". Turns out that San Juan and St. Thomas are renown for their bargains in jewelry. Here are some pictures of us all dolled up for the formal nights.
