2010 Cruise Day 1 and Day 2

Picture of Fort Lauderdale before we set sail:

Here is a portion of "The Oasis of the Seas". It is the largest cruise ship in the world (it's a Royal Caribbean ship). It looks like a floating apartment building. There is no appeal to me to be on a ship with 6,000 people. 2,000 people is plenty!


We have been at sea for a little over 24 hours now. We are on board Holland America's MS Eurodam. I have some pictures of some different rooms on the ship, but no outside pictures. I will try to take a couple tomorrow when we are on Grand Turk.

I have edited this post to add more pictures. I took advantage of free wifi at Starbucks in San Juan!

Ship pictures...

Bill checking out one of the interactive TVs on the ship (he was looking at how fast we were going, what the wind speed was, and where we were in the Atlantic):
Casino:
First formal evening (we have 2 this week):

Pictures of our room (it was listed as having a 'fully obstructed view' and so we were thrilled with the large window. It looks like a slider, but it does not open.


We kept busy today. We went to a multi-denominational service, which turned out to be led by a Catholic priest. I spent an hour on the elliptical. We went to a lecture on jewelry (maybe I will get something new!) and an afternoon tea. After that, Bill went to go see a movie (The Informant!) and I took a nap. Tonight is one of our formal nights, so we will go get our picture taken before heading to dinner around 8:00.

Boys, I hope you are being good for Grandma! I miss you!
