Our World Cruise: Ft. Lauderdale to London, England

Our plan for a world cruise started about 30 years ago. Ina kept talking about going on a world cruise at retirement and Jim went along with it until one day, he asked the price. His response was "oh no! you can't have that much money for a cruise!". The next day... Ina opened her private "cruise" savings account and managed to squirrel away enough money to pay for the cruise by retirement! We are going on a World Cruise!

Day 1: December 19, 2025

Woke up this morning a bit overwhelmed and thought, "what did I get us into"! Gratitude to Ellie Ortu for taking us to the Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale to start our journey. 

Had to get a couple of pictures before we set sail! Hope our clothes still fit by the end of the cruise!

Day 2: December 20, 2025

A whole day at sea. Took us a long time to get all of our "stuff" tucked away in this tiny space! There are a lot of "old" people on this boat. So, just our luck... the refrigerator didn't work, the toilet stopped working at a very inopportune time, and the TV remote didn't work! Everything sorted out by our cabin stewards Wayan and Nick who promptly fixed everything. Only about 250 of the passengers onboard are doing the world cruise. The rest of the passengers will disembark in LA and they will fill the boat back up to capacity of about 930.

Day 3: December 21, 2025 Cozumel, Mexico

First time off the boat! It is about 80 degrees and more humid than home!

Excursion to the Ruins of San Gervasio. This is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. This pre-Hispanic name was Tantun Cuzamil which was interpreted as the Flat Rock in the space of the Swallows.

Day 4 and 5: December 22 and 23, 2025 Days At Sea

Will post if anything exciting happens. LOL
