Good wishes for a safe journey home and for your major contribution on the fleet reports and Daily.

I post daily as the Fleet Report and Daily with a suggested meal. My actual meals are not noteworthy

May 9 – at sea destination Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

 

We are still making our way to Fort Lauderdale. Everyone is packing and starting to say good-bye to those aboard.

 

The Masquerade Party last night was pretty nice and well attended but not crowded. The Ocean Bar Band played, and were very entertaining. Quite a few people were up and dancing, including our Captain. Everyone was having a good time.

May 11 – at sea destination Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

 

 

 

 

Today is the last day of the 2023 World Cruise. It has been an adventure with many highs and a few lows. Tomorrow we disembark in Fort Lauderdale. I know a few will be staying aboard, and some friends are boarding tomorrow. Most people will be flying out of Fort Lauderdale, some Miami, and a few are spending a night or more in Fort Lauderdale. I am in the last group. I am not flying home until Saturday. I hope everyone has an easy time getting to their destination.
