It has been fantastic so far...just to have the ship moving. :D We held our breaths during the lifeboat drill (got a bit suspicious when they told pax NOT to bring life jackets - so we're not sailing this time, either? :eek: ). But no worries. We sailed out of Fort Lauderdale right on time Tuesday, then had a great day in Key West today. The weather has been spectacular!

We booked a category C at the aft of the ship (784) and are really enjoying it. It's similar to the aft suite we had on the Paul Gauguin, but of course this suite is larger (as is the balcony).

There is a HUGE mixture of guests on board...from 6 months old right on up to 90s. Several families with teenagers. I'm sure it's due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

It's been so wonderful to see a lot of the staff/crew who were on "non-TUT" still on board. We are having a great time but still insist on SAILING on a B&K escorted cruise! One of these years!?
