With very nice weather, for us that means very little wind, we docked in Key West at Pier B. According to plan, the Disney Magic had arrived 45 minutes earlier so the CBP could get a head start there and then come over to us for a full inspection. They will have already done a… read more of “31 March 2018; Key…”
Today is the last sea day of our cruise and it was a glorious day with sunshine galore and just a gentle breeze blowing over the deck. We covered today the distance between Cozumel and Key West. With a nice push in the back from the Gulf Stream we sailed north from the island of… read more of “30 March 2018; At…”
The distance from Grand Cayman to Cozumel is too long to make it for a 08.00 arrival but if you can still give the guests a full day in port by staying later than it does not matter that much if you arrive late morning.

We are now making a circumnavigation cruise around Cuba, by calling at Half Moon Cay, Georgetown Grand Cayman, Cozumel Mexico and Key West Florida. If Half Moon… read more of “26 March 2018; Half…”
I do not know what the apartments that are standing on the edge of the Fairway into Port Everglades look like on the inside but in principle it must be wonderful to live there. At least if you are into ship watching and especially if you are into cruise ship watching. The whole world is… read more of “25 March 2018; Port…”

North Easterly Winds from 3 to a (small) 4 and sunny skies. The Eurodam dropped anchor and 2 hrs. later, the… read more of “24 March 2018; Half…”
