We departed from Puerto Rico
The pilot boat showed the captain the way.

Lifeboat drill required for all hands.


As we left the harbor we got a great view of El Castillo San Felipe del Morro in old San Juan.
 

A closer view shows the lighthouse that marked the entrance of the port.


And as our ship rounded the point we got this view.


Then five days at sea en route to Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Thalassatherapy and regular old pools to enjoy.


Views from our cabin porthole and directly down through a window in the floor of the dining room.


Any kind of food you could imagine was available.
And all of it good.


Our cabin.


We could monitor our progress on the TV.


Sunsets, the first as we left Puerto Rico the other at sea.


Dramatic clouds over the ship.


The conservatory was a quiet place to hang out.


Artwork decorated the lobbies and stairways.


Finally we were in port again.


We were surprised to see this guy outside the cabin window in Tenerife.


This view from above of the tanker that was refueling our ship shows the reason why.


Ice carvings decorated the dining areas.


The last full day at sea we were treated to a desert extravaganza.
No way could you sample everything.
But we tried.
