Port Cams and Empty Ships

[mathbees]

One of my favorite activities leading up to a cruise has always been watching the webcams, like https://www.portmiamiwebcam.com/.  I enjoy watching the ships  come in and seeing all the traffic at the port as passengers debark and the new ones arrive to board.  Watching the ships sail out of port with people waving and holding up signs and displaying their tropical drinks  always helps pump up my excitement. I think my family tires of it, though, as I tend to start six months or more before the cruise. 

These days watching the ships leaving with no passengers on balconies, no music drifting in from the upper decks, no sign of life, really, is heartbreaking.  I'm glad we're finally seeing a bright spot in the future for sailing and I'm very much looking forward to our Southern Caribbean cruise in October.
