On Sunday, we started our cruise. We arrived at Port Everglades at midday and quickly made our way through the boarding process. We spent the afternoon getting our internet and onboard messaging set up. Phil and I did a little exploring and checked out the Red Frog Pub before we set sail at 4:00 PM. We hung out on the balcony as we left port with a US Coast Guard escort.

After watching land fade off into the horizon from our balcony, we ate at the buffet on the Lido Deck. We all agreed the sweet and sour shrimp and the salad bar stood out for this evening’s meal. Afterward, we took in The Upside on the poolside movie screen, which finished off the evening.

Drinks for the day included:

Jamaican Sunrise

Rum and Ginger Beer

Red’s Rum Treasure

Beachcomber

The Rum and Ginger Beer is just that—Rum and Ginger Beer with a bit of lime juice.

The Jamaican Sunrise consists of vodka, peach schnapps, red passion fruit juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. This was probably my favorite drink of the day.

The Red’s Rum Treasure contained guava juice, pineapple juice, sprite and two types of rum.

Finally, the Beachcomber was a blend of spiced rum, mango rum, Midori, citrus and pineapple juices.
