    We are back on the ship after a nice day in Labadee!  We loved beach lounger for 2 and would highly recommend one!

    This was our view from the chairs!  Outstanding!

    It was a very windy day and got worse as it went on.  We only saw the parasails for a short time in the morning and then it must have been too windy.  Lots of whitecaps!

    We took a little walk around and got this shot back towards the main area

    All good things must come to an end...unfortunately!  So walked back to the ship and now hanging out in the solarium for a bit and then dinner!

    We just love these days at the private stops!  So relaxing and low key!  Especially when home just got about 6” of snow!  Haha!

    Quick update this morning.  Woke up to HEAVY rain pretty early.  This is what it looks like outside!

    This is not what we had in mind for our first day of this trip and boarding the ship!  

    We signed up for the hotel shuttle service which was $10 a person.  Not too bad of a price.  
     
    The issue with luggage tags and set sail pass was solved!  The hotel had an area where they had a desktop computer with a free printer to use!!!  CRISIS AVERTED!!  ?
     
    Leaving for the ship in about 3 hours so stay tuned!  Thanks to all that are following along!

    Couldn't really sleep this morning (as usual before a trip) so got up and continued to get ready to go.  Lisa is mostly packed and I am a last minute packer so I don't have anything packed yet.  I decided to work on last minute things around the house and whatnot.  The packing for me will start soon...
     
    Here is a positive for us though.  The 7 day forecast that we will be missing!!!

     
    Stay tuned as we finish packing and start the journey!

    We were able to get a beach lounger from the wait list so we will be heading there after breakfast!

    Well that was an experience getting to the port...
    We signed up for the shuttle service from the hotel but someone jumped on our spot.  The staff did not stop the people from doing this so we sat at the hotel for another 30-45 minutes.  When the driver came back he picked us up and we then went to a different hotel and picked up a van full of Norwegian Cruise passengers.  We went there first and dropped all them off.  Then he said he was going to pick up more people to bring back.  We sat for a bit at a gate but no one came so he drove to our dock and then stopped.  He came over to the door and opened it and we asked if this was our spot to which he said it was.  It’s been a strange morning getting here.....but WE MADE IT.  It was about a 2 hour adventure to get to the port!
    In regards to the coronavirus stuff, we did not notice anything different other than that they asked more questions about where we had been and who we had been with but other than that we did not see anything different (but we did get there later than normal as mentioned above).
    Here was security...not too bad


    We went to the diamond/diamond plus line and had about 12 couples in from of us.  Then we looked at the platinum/emerald line and there was 1 couple!  We should have payed better attention to the lines!
    Check in was a breeze and took no time at all.  Walked right on the ship with no real wait!
    We went straight to the shore excursion desk to try and get a bed-thingy for labadee but they were sold out!  We are number 1 on the wait list!  He said we might be able to get 1 since people book 2 since they don’t realize that 1 reservation is for 2 people.
     
    more to come soon....we did our usual rounds and then sat at the “mouth-jammer”!

    All packed and ready to go....we think!  We always feel like we are forgetting something even though it seems like we have the kitchen sink with us ?

    As a side note...one of those cases is completely empty so we have space to bring purchases home!
     
    Now the dogs are just hanging out together in the sun as we wait to go.

    Almost time to load up the vehicle and head to the airport!

    Even on very short cruises, formal night is typically Day 2 / the first Sea Day.
    Hope that you're feeling better after a good night's rest, and enjoying your day at sea.

    It sounds like you're off to a pretty good start.  Way to go!  By the way, great idea for bringing an extra (empty)
    suitcase.  Love the last photo of the ocean from the Balcony!  I'm sure it feels warmer than 12 degrees in Minn., lol.
