Day One - March 12

We boarded the ship about 230pm. It left the dock by about 5pm. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. It wasn't dark yet and we got a look at the Chesapeake Bridge that carries US 50 across the Chesapeake Bay. We ended up eating in our stateroom as Ann's walker wasn't delivered by suppertime. It was cold outside and not great for sitting on the balcony (yes we got a room with a balcony- woo hoo).

Another issue was that it was still pretty cold during the day; too cold to use the outdoor spa.

Day 4 March 16 Freeport

Image
The next day we docked at Freeport. There was a big beach party with tug of war and music and a beach party. We stayed on the ship. I used the spa again but since most of the passengers went ashore it wasn't crowded and I was able to use the spa that was covered with a plexiglass top. The temperature was in the low to mid 70s which was below average for this time of the year in Freeport. ---............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... One of the great things about a cruise is how nice everyone is.
