We awoke off Half Moon Cay (on Little El Salvador Island), owned by the cruise company that owns Holland America. We had a leisurely start, including breakfast on the ship's stern.
Pam opted to go ashore and explore one of the ferries. I opted to remain aboard to get a few tasks done. I made this decision given that the sky was somewhat cloudy, the ship was only here for a few hours, and most importantly, I was secure in the knowledge that we would be back here in two days for the entire day.
Upon her return after enjoying her adventure, nothing she told me about the place made me regret my decision.
At 2:30, the ship was underway for Ft Lauderdale. We will be dockside there before 7:00 AM.
Throughout the afternoon, we watched people making preparations for disembarking the next day. One convenient feature Holland America offers is the placement of a suitcase scale at every set of elevators on every stateroom deck. Some people were not thrilled with their bag's weight. A woman was happy that her bag weighed 36 kilos until she converted kilos to 80 pounds. One can only wonder what she bought during the trip.
Pam & I had a nice dinner in Canaletto, our least favorite of the three specialty restaurants, because of its atmosphere. We then wandered through some of the public areas. They were generally sparsely occupied with a hush to them. Our favorite music venue was closed. Even the casino had a subdued air to it. Eurodam was a ship disembarking most of its passengers early in the morning.
