The Navigator Cruise with the Mixed Nutz Cruise Group.

We gathered at the Port, met at our Sail-away party and now, headed off for the mandatory Muster Drill. Soon we would be underway.
A little earlier we had lunch in the Windjammer and checked out our cabin. We had selected something new this time...... a corner Aft balcony. It was located on deck seven....cabin number 7688. The first glance at it and I knew it was special. The cabin itself was nice. The room had a couch and a small cocktail table, a desk and chair and the bed was made up as a queen. But there at the far wall was the glass doors leading to the balcony. Going out the doors revealed our own little special place, only it was not that little. The balcony of 7688 was the size of a room. One special feature was the six foot wide circular opening that gave you a wonderful view out of the side of the balcony. Combined with the view out of the back, it was fantastic.
Following the muster drill, we went to the upper decks to watch as the ship eased out of the Port of Miami. There are always people on the opposite shore watching the ships depart. We wave....they wave....but we are on the ship. As the ship nears the mouth of the port, you look northward and get a great view of Miami Beach. Thats all good but we know it's going to get better.
The breeze picks up as the ship begins to pick up speed. It turns and heads south towards our caribbean destination. The fun is just beginning.
