Leaving port of Miami

a tender docked at grand stirrup cay....kids slide in the background

A blown glass sculpture in the "atrium"...where the pursor's desk, tour desk, Wii games 20 feet square,
Huge room as high as  two decks.

12th deck of the ship...3 hot tubs, kids pool and slide, adult pool.
There were 13 stories on the ship.  Our staterooms were on the 8th floor.  Hospital on the bottom of the ship, big gym, spas, library, game room (monopoly, uno, etc., "quiet room", all kinds of nooks and crannies that you could be by yourself if you chose.  2 1/3 times around the 7th deck equalled one mile.  Ship is as large as 3 football fields.  Lots of people, but you never felt in a crowd except in the buffet line because the ship is so large.  This pic. was taken about an hour after we boarded, so is quite empty at this time.  This was a busy place also.

Getting off the tender to browse or sit on the beach or snorkel on Grand Stirrup Cay
