Eastern Caribbean aboard the Ruby Princess

Ft. Lauderdale: Feb. 13, 2011YAY! Here we are, ready to begin a week of sailing in the Eastern Caribbean!  We arrived on board around noon; having spent the night in Ft. Lauderdale.  We spent most of the afternoon getting acquainted with the ship and gazing at the coastline.  After months of below freezing temperatures, ice and snow, we were ready for some tropical air and sunshine…and Ft. Lauderdale gave us a wonderful taste of what was to come.I highly recommend a state room with a balcony.  It was the perfect, private sanctuary where we could watch the sunrise and sunset or wonder at the flying fish in the brilliant blue water.  Time to set sail and leave Ft. Lauderdale behind as we head toward the Caribbean.  Now, bring me that horizon!
