Caribbean Cruise 2012

We were up on time at 4:30am 
(which is especially impressive since we didn't go to bed until a little after 1am!), 
left the house on time by 5:30am, 
got to The Parking Spot on time at 6am, 
got to the airport on time by 6:15am, and 
our flight took off on time at 7:15. 
Pretty good, but very early, start to our vacation!

When we got to the ship terminal, we got this nice letter saying our itinerary had been changed because of T.S. Isaac. No more Nassau, St. Maarten and St. Thomas traded days, and Grand Turk was added. We were happy for our Sunday to be a "Fun Day" at Sea to rest and get acclimated with the ship.
 After sitting in the ship terminal and hearing Zones called to board, we tried to figure out how we were supposed to know what Zone we were in. We finally asked someone, and found out we had somehow missed getting a zone card. We missed something again!! 
(Last time, we missed how to hand off luggage for it to magically show up to our room. So we lugged all through the ship terminal, across the gangway, and to our room!) 
So, we were in the last group to board the ship with about an hour left of the lunch buffet open. We hadn't eaten lunch, so we headed straight to the buffet line with our carry-ons, and hurriedly ate before the security briefing, after which we finally got to our room and relaxed a little.

And we're off!
