Sea Days and Ft. Lauderdale ( Day 9,10 and 11, Dec. 19,20 and 21st)

We sailed from Costa Rica to Ft. Lauderdale with no more stops so we spent 2 full days and nights at sea.  Sea days on ship can be quite relaxing and there is lots to do.  We did not gamble in the casino, nor did we use the day spa or buy art or jewellery in the shops.  But we could have!  I walked the promenade deck for exercise and John went to the gym a couple of times.  Other than that we hung out at the pool or up on one of the decks enjoying the loungers, views and breezes.  We played cards and stayed cool in the observation deck or in our rooms.  The food was great and we loved our servers in the dining room and the housekeeping staff.  We very much enjoyed having a balcony and most of all the company of friends from home at Inverlyn.  After 2 days and a night at sea it took a while to get my land legs back.  I loved this cruise and all the exotic stops in places I had never been before.  It just gave me a taste of this part of the world and the desire to go back.  There were many highlights but being in the Panama Canal is something I will never forget.
