Where do I start? It was such a packed week. Our first day was at sea, and we spent it relaxing, lounging, checking out the ship, etc.
For lunch, on a whim, DH and I decided to check out the dining room, not something we normally do. They had Fajitas as the lunch special and I had the open-faced steak sandwich, and they were both very tasty. But what made it even more interesting was our lunch companions. Some of you old, old, old-time Tampa Bay residents may remember Arch Deal. He was the channel 10 anchor back in the 70’s and did traffic reports in the 80’s and early 90’s I think. He was there with his brother, and man did he have some stories to tell. He and DH closed the place down, talking and chatting. That was really cool.

We had good table mates for dinner, too. A young couple from Tennessee who was very sweet. Another young couple from London, who were there for 2 weeks back to back cruises (lucky!) But they disappeared after the 2nd night, so we don’t know what happened to them. And the third couple was around our age, from Kissimmee. So, lots of good conversations there, too.
And of course, no cruise trip is complete without a trip to Johnny Rockets, which we did at around midnite the first night. Yummy burgers and shakes. Sigh. Check out the unlimited rings and fries. Oh, we ate so much. I’m in major diet mode this week. EEK!
I'll leave you with a few more pictures. The first is Capt. Johnnie, a real cool dude. He even brings his Harley on board and rides it around in port. The awesome dining room (three levels!), and a pic of our favorite bar, the Wig and Gavel. We always ended up there after dinner.
