Day 1 - Cruise Vacation

Day 1 - Friday, Feb 28th - Jill took Diane, Nathan, Doug and I to the airport for our 7:30am flight. We however did not leave until 9:15am as the plane was loaded with fuel to go to Hawaii not Miami.  A empty fuel truck needed to be found and then our plane needed to have its excess fuel off loaded so we would not be too heavy to land in Miami.

We eventually were on our way, with not too much time to spare.  We arrived in Miami and were greeted by ExecuCar "Meet & Greet" service.  Our driver wisked us to our Black SUV and we were off to the Port of Miami. After a short check-in process and courtesy photos - we were on the ship by 1:15pm.  Below is a photo took from the top deck of the ship as we were leaving the Port of Miami .

Dinner in the dining room @ 6:30 pm, followed by a show at 8:30pm and drinks pool-side before turning in for the night.  In our cabin, we we received our tickets for tomorrows excursion with a note that the vendor had changed the time. The Explorations desk was closed so we will have to deal with that tomorrow morning.

Day 2 - Saturday, March 1st

Up early, breakfast in the Windjammer (with made to order omelets). Down to the Explorations Desk only to find out the explorations staff was already on the island.  We boarded the Tender Boat over to the Royal Caribbean private island "Coco Cay"  Previously known as Little Stirrup Key;  The issue with the timing of the Stingray tour was worked out so that Nathan could do the Stingrays with Doug and I and still make it to the Kayak Tour/Snorkel with Dustin, Karen & Diane.

 

Below are some photos of the Stingray Tour
