-We had a mandatory evacuation drill where we just stood in lines waiting to get into our boats (if we were sinking)
-We stood on the top deck with Pina Cooladas as we departed and watched the very end of the Florida come and go.
-Dinner with our waiter Emre from Turkey and Assistant waiter George N.
