Day three at sea. We embarked about 10:30 p.m. on the 4th
and have spent these first three days at sea. It has given us the chance to
work out dining arrangements, find our way around the ship and begin to develop
some routines that make life aboard feel like home.
This ship is smaller than previous ships we have experienced,
and older. Although it is generally a nice ship, it is showing its age.
We have seen many familiar faces from the 2015 World Cruise
(read about that cruise at www.faroenterprises.blogspot.com)
– some we are very happy to see again, like the couple from Chicago and the
couple from Belgium; and others not so much.
Last night we enjoyed a concert by Melissa Manchester. Don't know why she's on a cruise ship, but she can still sing and the show was excellent.

Tomorrow we dock at Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. We plan to
walk into town and explore on our own. Then, on Saturday, we traverse the
Panama Canal.
Today we booked a 21-day transAtlantic leaving Fort Lauderdale March 27, as well as the 2017 World Cruise. Add in the July Iberian Peninsula cruise with the grandchildren and we're really earning our sea legs over the next years.
What is your transAtlantic destination?
