Day 64 of 67. Three more sleeps.
Again, we three were off the ship and onto a shuttle ferry boat to a beach that was at 9.15 in the morning basically deserted. We picked our spot and settled in for the day. I could not believe how close they were jammed together and in rows as well, sometimes three rows.
Inside of two hours the place was jam-packed. The water was cooler but agin, not too cool, but it did cool you down somewhat. Gail and I spent most of the time reading, honing our computer skills on the free wifi, Jim and Fellette read most of the time.
It was another wonderful day on the beach. What was the most interesting thing today was the amount of cruise ships in this tittle place. There were seven, one left and another came in within an hour.
I looked it up on the internet, and the combined passenger capacity of the ships here today was over 19,000! We have been spoiled the last nine weeks by most times us being the only ship in a port. Today, it was beyond ridiculous, it was so bad it was comical. I actually enjoyed the experience.
When we went back on board around 3.00 we walked down the pier to our ship between a wall of ships. Battleship Row Jim called it. It was an experience that we will never see again in all likelihood.
After our beach day we decided to walk through the shopping street. Fellette and I found some items we had been looking for for about six weeks. Jim splurged and got a new shirt, a real bedazzler!
This was a glorious way to end our cruise, absolutely marvellous!
We now have two sea days as we make a run for Fort Lauderdale, arriving very early, we are scheduled to get off at around 8.30, our flight leaves at 11:30 AM.
Britannia, a P&O ship
The terminal area is a massive complex of happy holidayers, all soaking up the sun and the rum it seems.
The largest ship in port today, 5400 passenger capacity, ours has a capacity of about 800, we have a bit over 500 on board now. Harmony of the Seas, part of Royal Caribbean Line.
The beach, nothing but thousands of chairs and umbrellas.
Ready for bums.
The vendors come by you.
Jim and Gail, happy as clams. Fellette was swimming.
The shopping and eating street.
There you have some idea of the situation here.
Walking down Battleship Row to our lovely little Yacht!
Have enjoyed the journey. Have a safe flight home, Keith.
