We did a fair amount of rocking and rolling last night thanks to a strong headwind.  Still bouncing about a bit.  Captain said winds should calm down later in the day.

 

This is sea day #1 of 7 as we head to Ft Lauderdale.

You can't tell by the photo, but it's getting ready to rain in our Happy Place! 🥺

 

 

Update: We couldn't tell how big the rain clouds were because we were in the middle of it, but it passed in 10 minutes time.  Now sunny again!  😊

We watched it from the balcony.  It was interesting to watch the rain like that then poof, it was gone.

For those following along, @LACruiser88 and I are sitting about 15 feet apart in the Sanctuary. I should probably turn around and wave…

Sea day #3.  First photo taken at 6:00 am, second taken at 6:30 am.  It was "bouncy" last night.  Slept great!

No Sanctuary for us today.  We have had swells of 3 meters (9.8 ft), on/off rain, and strong winds on the upper decks.

 

Weather is supposed to improve for tomorrow.

Not going to call you a wimp today. We’re also taking a pass. We plan to be up there the remaining days.

Ship's Bridge noon announcement just informed we currently have 4 meter (13 ft) swells.  By tonight it should be down to 2 meters and it will be much better tomorrow.
