In the first few days or this trip, I’ve flown from Seattle to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, boarded the cruise ship, and sailed to a private island in the Bahamas.

I was treated to a nice view of Mount Rainier on my way out of Seattle:

It was a stormy day as we first boarded the ship in Fort Lauderdale:

We sailed overnight to an island in the Bahamas. We used one of the lifeboats to transfer to shore:
