| Arriving back in Fort Lauderdale was one of the highlights of the cruise for me - second only to transiting the Panama Canal! Like the Canal, we arrived before dawn - but unlike in |

| The Enchantment of the Seas followed us in and docked just ahead of us |
| Panama, I was the only passenger to witness this gorgeous sight. I've entered this inlet myself on several occasions returning from the Bahamas so I easily recognized the landmark four striped chimneys from a long way out . Once inside the cut, we did a great little paso doble around the Enchantment of the Seas and backed into our slip. Not only was there a great sunrise, there was also a full moon! |

| The photo at right was taken before our departure (but the same operation began all over again soon after we docked). What you see here is 23 palets full of passenger luggage being loaded by a fork lift into the ship. Pretty impressive! |
