Cartagena, Columbia


Cartagena, Columbia - January 8

We woke up this morning just as we were nearing the dock in Cartagena. We are docked in the container port and they are running a shuttle to the cruise terminal. Since this is a short port, sail at 1:00 we'll just stay onboard.

We went to the dining room for breakfast at about 8:30 and then back to the cabin to read. Luckily we are on the shade side of the ship as it is well over 90 outside with about the same humidity (90%) - just a slight change from the 20 degrees we've been having in Denver.

Last night was the first formal night and we decided to dress and go to the dining room. From what I saw I'd say over half the men were in tuxes and almost all the others in dark suits – a nicely dressed bunch of people... kind of reminiscent of cruises some years back. We didn't stay out for any of the night activities or shows, but we are hearing good comments about them.

Tonight is our first Ensemble dinner in the Pinnacle Grill with 23 of our passengers. I'm looking forward to meeting them.

We have finally gotten the batteries all charged up for the cameras so we are ready for the Canal tomorrow. We've been through it a number of times, but I still enjoy it.
