Sad!
Sadly, we arrived back in Florida.
Pretty empty
it was awesome. Nice outside, not a crowd and a view of the ocean and Grand Cayman.
Port terminal
When I looked this building up it said it was the port terminal. It's not the cruise terminal.
In the water!
We got to see how they put the tenders in the water. Interesting.

Travelers
I was just amazed at all the people with suitcases. They must have come off of the other cruise ship. I was expecting more people taking tours, not people with suitcases.
Turning
Our termonal is the first building on the right. You can see a smaller cruise ship on the other side of the building.
The cruise terminal
We finally got to where we turn in.
Closer to the shipyards
I see other ships.
People everywhere
All along the rails, everyone was watching.
Photographers
Almost everyone had a camera or cell phone, taking pictures and video coming in to port.
Watching
A lot of people came out to see us pull in to port. This was the inaugural cruise for Holland America to Cuba so, they made a big deal about it. We heard the CEO as well as some of the higher execs were on board.

Capitol
You can see the capitol building right in the center. It's modeled after ours in Washington D.C. but they say, "It's a few inches taller."

The Captain made an announcement that the front of the ship would be open as we pulled in to Havana. We went up there to take pictures as we pulled in to port! It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day!
