    Did the drink package cover those "specialty" drinks? Or were you up-charged $2 from the "classic"?

    The worst day of the cruise...
    The day is here, the day we leave our home on the seas...
    We pulled into Miami around 5am, and from what I could tell, we were cleared and self disembarkation started around 6:45am

    We headed up to Chop’s about 8:15 for our breakfast, it was delicious 

    We decided not to use our Key benefit for disembarking because we wanted to leave with my cousins, they had the latest departure possible, so we wandered around the ship a bit. The next cruise is the Zumba chartered cruise, so the pool deck was oddly empty, and they were craning in a ton of equipment 

    We were let off the ship about 9:20, and going down the gangway, we passed the crane

    When we got to the baggage area, our bags were already off the belt and waiting for us, assuming because of the Key

    Going through customs was super easy, nothing like I was expecting. We were out on the curb about 9:30.
    Driving away from the port, the last view of the ship, you can see the crane putting crates up on top

    We had decided to rent a car for the four of us to drive up to Ft Lauderdale, that ended up being quite an adventure with shuttles and Uber’s to finally get us a car at the Miami airport, and we had to try a couple of them before we found one to fit all of our baggage

    We stayed at a hotel for the evening, and now we are at the airport waiting for our plane. 
    Thanks so much for following along, this has been fun, and I think it actually caused me to take more pictures and remember things more to be able to document them. I don’t know when our next cruise will be, but likely something from the west coast, burning a couple days flying back and forth just makes it hard. I am jealous of all you guys that can just hop on a long weekend cruise!!

    mmm, I love RumChada! We were on Navigator on March 15th, and I didn't find anything there that was like it, other than Baileys, which isn't really the same thing...
    Where did you see those little creamer cups?

    Day 7 -Aruba
    This is our last port stop on this trip, and maybe the one we were most looking forward to, because of the excursion we had booked.

    The ship docked about 7am and the gangways were down and open before 8. Our tour was picking us up just outside the port at 8:45, so we had a little time to grab a quick bit at the windjammer.
    Today's tour was a Harley ride, touring the island. We have done this kind of thing in Hawaii before, and have always said there is no better way to see the island. Today did not disappoint.

    We took off from the shop about 9:30am and the weather was perfect for riding, not so much for pictures though. Overcast for the most part

    Saw some beautiful sights along the way

    The last stop before heading back to the shop was Baby Beach. There is a new adults only bar/lounge/pool that just opened about 3 months ago that our guide took us to

    The tour lasted almost 5 hours, and it was incredible!

    After returning to the shop, they gave us a ride back to the port. We had gotten a recommendation from our guide about a place to eat, and we were hungry, so we walked there, about a 15 minute walk to a little place called El Gaucho. Incredible steak and fish!
    We spent some time walking around the shops, then headed back to the ship. All aboard is 6pm, and we were back on about 5.
    Dinner in the windjammer tonight was Indian theme, I didn't care for much of it, so I hit the Kids Corner for a burger and fries, perfect!
    We went to the main show at 10pm tonight, it was a ballroom dancing show by the Royal Caribbean singers and dancers, it was a lot of fun!

    As soon as the show let out, it was time for the 80's party on the Promenade. The people watching during and after did not disappoint! 

    The cruise compass for tomorrow shows the drink card as coming available!

    That's about all for today. The next two days are sea days as we make our way back to Miami...

    Day 5 (I think?) Bonaire!
    Such a beautiful day today. We docked about 8:30, and the captain gave us the all clear right at 9am
    We were the second ship in port today, the first was the old Monarch 
    We decided to rent a couple scooters for the day and just tour the island on our own. Turned out to be a fantastic idea! The guy we rented from was awesome, picked us up at the port and took us to two brand new (in November) Yamaha scooters. These are the bigger models that you actually have to have a motorcycle endorsement on your license to ride. My wife and I are both endorsed, and decided to get our own, instead of riding tandem. 
    We set off to see the sights!
    The beauty in these islands just amazes me
    the shape of the corals that have washed onshore and now line the shore are just incredible 
    Saw some incredible kite surfing down at the south end
    We rode the whole south end of the island, and stopped back in Kralendijk to grab some lunch, and then headed north
    We stopped at 1000 steps and went down and got in the water with our snorkels. Wow!
    After the snorkeling, we were beat and decided to head back. After stopping for fuel (and putting in a whopping $2.48 between the two bikes) We got back to the rental shop about 3:30 and he took us back to the port where we walked around for a little bit and then headed back on the ship. 
    We hadn’t had a chance to catch the Iskate show yet, so we headed down to studio B to take it in. I was a bit skeptical walking in, but then the show started and I was hooked!
    Tonight’s dinner was the Windjammer, and then up to the room. We are beat and want to get some good sleep before we hit Curaçao tomorrow!

    Day 3, Labadee!
    Started this morning off at the Windjammer just after 7am with a nice little breakfast while watching us back into the dock at Labadee
    We went down to StudioB at 7:50 for our Key debarment, and were escorted off the ship about 8:15
    Hopped on a golf cart that took us to our Over the Water Cabana
    We are in the one on the left. This is amazing!
    The water here is incredible. Remember, we live on the west coast, and haven’t ever been down here before. We have been to Hawaii several times, but it just doesn’t compare. Did some snorkeling under the cabanas, some neat stuff
    Spent the day relaxing. Amazing...
    Our attendant, Jantee, was awesome, and kept the Labadoozies and Pina Colada’s flowing! Definitely made use of our drink package today!
    Sailaway from our balcony

    Dinner was in the MDR tonight
    Tonight’s headliner was a Journey tribute band, they were...interesting

    Thats all for now. See you later!

    Day 9 - Last full day....
    Didn’t take a ton of pictures today, but I have a few  
    We had a slow start to the morning, and went to the spa about 9 for a nice massage / nap! 
    We were done just after 11 and went to the Windjammer for lunch. 
    After lunch, we caught the show with the house band, it was a big band style and we loved it

    We went out on the deck and played shuffle board for a bit before heading up to the pool deck

    pro-tip, do the pool at slides starting at 5PM, there is no one out there!

    While walking the halls today, I looked up and noticed this right outside our cabin door, makes sense that we had good WiFi reception all throughout the cabin!

    Tonight’s dinner was at the Windjammer, it was seafood night, which meant I grabbed a burger and fries from the kids section

    After dinner was the fair well show in the theater, it was great

    After the show, we hung out at the Bamboo room, this became our favorite place to relax! Played some games and enjoyed our last few hours

    The Key breakfast was moved to Chop’s grill tomorrow

    Day 8 - at sea
    Today was our first of two sea days headed back to Miami, and it was wonderful! 
    I got up early and took my laptop down to the promenade about 7:30 to get some stuff done, it was wonderfully quiet down there, and I grabbed some fruit from the Cafe. 
    A little later in the morning, they had a Bloody Mary bar set up on the promenade 

    There was a “flash sale” on accessories, and it got pretty busy

    I stopped in one of the shops, and noticed that the ship models have already bred updated with the new slides and such, but a lot of the picture related items have not

    While wandering  around, we came across the Stowaway Piano Player. This guy is awesome 

    We went to a Q&A with the singer/dancer/ice skaters that was quite interesting. Did you know that the singers and dancers will help out backstage with costume changes etc. at the ice show, and the other way around? They also run spot lights for each other’s shows

    Tonight was formal night, we went to the main dining room 

    With celebrations of the the 50th anniversary for Royal, the had birthday cakes

    Tonight’s headliner show was a Whitney Houston tribute, she was great! She was backed with all live music from the house band, they are incredible. 

    After catching the late show, we wandered around the ship more, made a stop at the R Bar and got a red velvet, wow!
    After playing some late night (early morning) mini golf, we decided to call it a day. Last full day tomorrow!

    We had a slow start to the morning, and went to the spa about 9 for a nice massage / nap! 
    We were done just after 11 and went to the Windjammer for lunch. 
    After lunch, we caught the show with the house band, it was a big band style and we loved it

    We went out on the deck and played shuffle board for a bit before heading up to the pool deck

    pro-tip, do the pool at slides starting at 5PM, there is no one out there!

    While walking the halls today, I looked up and noticed this right outside our cabin door, makes sense that we had good WiFi reception all throughout the cabin!

    Tonight’s dinner was at the Windjammer, it was seafood night, which meant I grabbed a burger and fries from the kids section

    After dinner was the fair well show in the theater, it was great

    After the show, we hung out at the Bamboo room, this became our favorite place to relax! Played some games and enjoyed our last few hours

    The Key breakfast was moved to Chop’s grill tomorrow

    Day 8 - at sea
    Today was our first of two sea days headed back to Miami, and it was wonderful! 
    I got up early and took my laptop down to the promenade about 7:30 to get some stuff done, it was wonderfully quiet down there, and I grabbed some fruit from the Cafe. 
    A little later in the morning, they had a Bloody Mary bar set up on the promenade 

    There was a “flash sale” on accessories, and it got pretty busy

    I stopped in one of the shops, and noticed that the ship models have already bred updated with the new slides and such, but a lot of the picture related items have not

    While wandering  around, we came across the Stowaway Piano Player. This guy is awesome 

    We went to a Q&A with the singer/dancer/ice skaters that was quite interesting. Did you know that the singers and dancers will help out backstage with costume changes etc. at the ice show, and the other way around? They also run spot lights for each other’s shows

    Tonight was formal night, we went to the main dining room 

    With celebrations of the the 50th anniversary for Royal, the had birthday cakes

    Tonight’s headliner show was a Whitney Houston tribute, she was great! She was backed with all live music from the house band, they are incredible. 

    After catching the late show, we wandered around the ship more, made a stop at the R Bar and got a red velvet, wow!
    After playing some late night (early morning) mini golf, we decided to call it a day. Last full day tomorrow!
