Because of hurricane Milton our itinetary was changed, and we are making a stop at Falmouth, not a port usually called on by this ship.
The weather is sunny with a forecast of a small chance of showers in the afternoon.
Hurricane Milton is still poised to make landfall later today south of Tampa and then pass across the state just south of Orlando. Major damage is expected.
The younger members of our group have all booked various excursions. Adrienne, Steve, Alyssa and James are headed to Dunns River Falls, a long time favorite that I took my daughters to years ago.
Brian Petersen is having all the luck, maybe because this is his first time on Royal. He purchased a silk shirt in the shops only to discover one of the characters was misprinted the wrong color. Yesterday the shop tried to get it back from him and replace it. He refused, and now he has a rare collectors item.
He booked a tour only to have it cancelled several hours later, but now too late to book the falls. He will try again for something.
The Disney Fantasy is docked here with us. The port area is busy. We ultimately decide to do the usual, just stay on the ship.
Actually, we are quite fortunate in getting rerouted to a different port. Most diverted ships are just spending more days at sea.
A Royal ship from New York is just spending 1 day at Coco Cay then returning to her home port.
We will make a stop at Cozumel, just not on the date scheduled. An extra problem for those that book tours privately.
Today is Steve and Adrienne's 15th anniversary, one of many reasons why we all are on this cruise.
The dining room waiter makes a lovely napkin rose and vase.
Everyone enjoyed their excursions. The production show tonight is Voices. The theater is less than half full. I wasn't impressed, others felt better about the show.
Tomorrow is a sea day as we head to Cozumel, Mexico.
