Check out of Hilton Hotel at Miami International and get a taxi to the Cruise Port to board the Celebrity Equinox for 11 days sailing around the southern carribean

Boarded the Celebrity Equinox and we sailed at 3.30pm. Due to Hurricane Irma we have a change of itinerary and we will no longer go to either St Thomas or Tortola but will now sail direct to Curaçao.

Had a couple of drinks at the Pool Bar and ate lunch in Ocean View Cafe whilst waiting for our luggage. Now unpacked and laid on the bed trying to assimilate all of the ships facilities

Dinner this evening in Blu, restaurant dedicated to Aqua Class occupants, a couple of drinks and maybe an early night

Well that did not happen, few drinks in the Sunset bar, fantastic dinner in Blu. Lobster, steak and Creme Brûlée for Bob, baked Brie and steak for Lesley. Half bottle of Pinot Noir and then a couple of Gins for Bob. Tough life these Cruises eh
