The hats
They didn't make it back home. I was disappointed. I loved them!

Day 10!
While we were sailing around Cuba, a lot of the channels were "not availablle." As soon as we left Cuba, they were working again!
Time to go!
Leaving for the night!
Return time
Took a picture in case we forget what time to be back!
Pretty at night
And empty! Everyone was getting ready to go out again.
Tour time!
Once the ship stopped it was time to meet up with our tour. We had to meet in the theater and wait for our tour to leave.
Veendam
Our ship!
Off the ship!
Since we were forced to go through customs and all, we got off the ship in Key West.
Lunch
We had lunch by the pool. It was a very windy day You can kinda see the roof over the pool is nearly closed. I guess they thought the breeze would be too cold for the swimmers.
Quiet afternoon
Nearly every time we sat out here it was pretty empty. We were kinda wondering if the ship was full or not.
Christmas Carols
They pass out hot chocolate and egg nog and everyone sings Christmas carols. Then they lit the Christmas tree. It's really nice. really nice.

We were impressed there was a full tub in the bathroom vs. the tiny shower capsule that are in most cruise bathrooms.

Lanai Stateroom
We upgraded to a Lanai Stateroom fro this cruise and we're so glad we did, we loved it! We had a sliding glass back door to the room that was shaded so no one could see in. It led out to the lower promenade deck. There were two deck chairs right outside that were open almost the entire cruise. We just went outside and enjoyed!
