Getting off the ship was a breeze this morning until we got outside to the rideshare area. The porter took us to the wrong place and when our ride came, the cop threatened to give him a ticket if he stopped.
We were routed to the right area and ended up canceling our first Uber because he never came back for us.
We got a new driver after what seemed like forever and we are now enjoying our stay at Margaritaville in Hollywood.  The fish is in the water already.
 

We said our goodbyes to our waiters and enjoyed one last night time stroll through Central Park and our last sunset before disembarking. ?
 

I forgot our formal night the evening of Puerto Rico, day 5. Lobster was good and in one of the pics you can even catch a slight glimpse of @CruisingKat(Kathy). ☺️
 

Last port stop was Labadee.  It was a normal beach day, beautiful day with no rain. Hubs and lil guy did the aqua park and we somehow managed to miss the bbq.  I was waiting for them to finish the aqua park.  We walked over at 2pm and everything was gone already.  We stayed in the Columbus Cove area.
Since we’ve personally last been there, they added beach swings and some more cabanas.
 

Our next port was Puerto Rico which is one of my favorites.  We did the Rainforest Drive excursion.  We had an excellent guide and the Rainforest is breathtaking.  Guess what???? I even had time for my pina colada at Barrachinas!!! 
Hubs and lil guy continued back to the ship while I browsed for souvenirs.  Suddenly a torrential downpour came and I was soaked.  It was so heavy it was hard to see.

Yesterday was our first port day.  We chose to take a taxi to Mullet Bay Beach.  I was going to go to the beach at Holland House, but after hearing talk of the water there failing toxicity tests I didn’t want to chance it. 
Mullet Bay Beach was absolutely gorgeous.  The color of the water there is something out of an advertisement.  
We ate at Rosie’s snack shack there.  Two chicken and rice platters, an order of fries, a beer and a soda cane to $24.
Some catamarans came and anchored for about 30-45 minutes.  We scored free rum punch from their staff because their people weren’t swimming out to where the cooler was. That was a win!!
We snorkeled and saw a few different kind of fish and some crabs.
We have only had one other ship docked with it’s there...MSC Seaside.

Hey again, you were sitting right near us in the Main Dining Room!!! ☺️

I love my cabin. It was very spacious. All the suites amenities come with the cabin. I was amazed with my views. I opened the curtains at night and looked at the sky. It was thundering and lightening one night. I tried to capture the beauty of my new lense (thanks @twangster). You are going to have a blast.

enjoy your trip ?

I also love the little hidden treasures throughout the ship. If you look down into the telescopes you find scenes such as this:

Our first two days were sea days and we spent time taking in the ship, swimming, saw Mama Mia and enjoyed Izumi (our only specialty night.
The key lime pie in the MDR is one of my favorites and we tried Johnny Rockets for breakfast for the first time.  Not too bad!
