Two in today. Downtown will be full of people. I’ll stay away. But I do any way. Hehe.

No Matt. I just own land there. My son and sister in law live their. Separate places. But their land connects to mine. I live about 15 minutes away or less to where the ships are.

We saw a few on our last trip to Florida, unbelievable how big these things are.
Are these ships just passing through or do they start a cruise there?

I’ve been on two Royal Caribbean cruises. It’s like a floating city. Amazing vacations.

I've been on a single cruise, and that was plenty for me.
I was bored to tears.
No tools. No equipment. No workshop. No problems to solve, no need to use your brain.
Just tons of food and miles of open sea.
The port calls weren't as bad. But still nothing that interesting.
If the wife begs me, I'll have to do it again. But I hope she doesn't.

No Jeff they don’t start here. Just passing through. Mostly come in for the day, then leave. Travel over nite to the next port. Not sure where they start or end.

I looked up routes and found this. This is what they sorta do. Not sure where to look on internet to find routes. I would say most of the ships have different routes.

I vote with Bob on the subject of cruise vacations, except possibly for a cruise in Alaska.

I also agree with Bob. I took my wife on the Disney Fantasy ship to St. Martin, St. Thomas and Disney's castaway cay about 10 years ago.
