Taken as she anchored off the coast on Grand Cayman Island on the cloudy afternoon of Jan 13th, 2009. It's the Inaugural season for the ship which was launched in November of 2008.

We had the balcony stateroom B305 (Deck 11) for the week... and it was great! I've never been on a cruise before, and I sure will again!

It always amazes me to see these huge cities on water staying afloat...
