Two days at sea went very quickly from New York, the sea was very calm, we didn't even feel like we were moving most of the time and at last the weather has improved so much that out come the shorts! Hurray!

Our stateroom is similar to the Queen Victoria but a little larger and everthing feels brand new. We have a new steward Joseph, who is super smiley! We have a new table downstairs in the Britannia Restaurant with a fantastic view of the centrepiece.

We enjoyed the show at the Royal Court Theatre, in a box of course, reserved especially for Royalty, or at least we pretend it is!

We arrived early into Fort Lauderdale and Queen Victoria and another 6 cruise ships were already there. Julie, Steve and Alex met us on the beachfront and it was lovely to see them, John and Leeanne joined us too for champagne brunch at the Hyatt Pier Top rotating restaurant. The view was fantastic and we could see the cruise liners all lined up. Thank you for making our day in Fort Lauderdale so extra special.

Back at sea now and we're heading to Curacao on Wednesday, our excursion involves tasting the blue stuff!
