Posts From: Panama Canal 2009

11:46AM Miami International Airport I had breakfast up in the Horizon Court buffet at 7am this morning.  We were already docked in Port Everglades.  When I returned to the room to gather my things, I was met with a sad notice.  Our door name tag had been removed and replaced with that of our room’s next occupants who will board the Coral Princess this afternoon.  Our steward was already cleaning …continue reading

9:50PM EST At Sea, North of Cuba We are rounding out our last two days at sea before docking in Port Everglades (Ft.
