Christmas Caribbean Cruise 2000
Embarkation Day: Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We've cleared check-in, about to ascend the gangway to the ship. check-in took a while, but the rest of the day's travels had been without incident.

Under way! Joining the party on the aft Lido Deck while the ship pulls out of Fort Lauderdale. It was cool and very windy. At this point I did not know that my luggage was not coming on cruise with me.
