Our New Home!

We're here - aboard the wonderful Island Princess. This is the view currently from our stateroom. We've only been here a couple of hours and we're prowled most of the ship - signed up for the wine tasting, the Lotus Spa and of course the internet (Wi-Fi from every stateroom!) We'll have a "muster" at 4:15 this afternoon and we set sail at 4:30 (I think that's so that people ashore get a "floor show" as we wander around with our life jackets that have not changed substantially since those used on the Titanic). I was getting pretty good at beating out the "walkers" to the lifeboat station, had trouble with those on those darn scooters but who knew that all those in wheelchairs have their own staff assigned? In the event of an emergency at sea I'll probably have to do like they apparently do on Carnival & Norwegian (jump overboard) - good thing the water is pretty warm down here!
