The ship isn't cleared until almost 7:30. Many passengers have gathered near the gangway. There are about 35 or 40 passengers gathered for wheelchair assist. They take the passengers by order of luggage tag number, not when you get there. Totally makes sense. Being Pinnacle does have its advantage, I am in the first wheelchair to leave the ship.
The disadvantage, the crewmember doesn't know the correct passage to the gangway and makes several wrong turns, but in the end it works.
As we are waiting for the elevator, Alyssa and James walk by. The elevator is much faster, because the distance is much less. Luggage is quickly spotted. The orange straps help immensely.
We find a spot near the curb and begin our wait. Soon Alyssa and James arrive. Uber requests keep being canceled by the drivers. Ultimately they decide to walk to the garage to get the cars.
By 9 o'clock or so we are finally on our way. James and Alyssa take Pann and Terry to their hotel in Miami, Lynn and I take Adrienne and Steve home to Clermont, but only after a breakfast stop, a fuel stop, and a few restroom stops.
Home by just after 1:00 I unpack and do laundry. About 10 weeks until our next cruise to Amsterdam for the tulip festival.
