2019 Caribbean Cruise

Our goal for our cruise this year was again to be on a ship in the warm Caribbean.  We did two back to back 7- day cruises on the Regal Princess out of Ft. Lauderdale.  At most ports we got off briefly and then enjoyed an empty ship.  Before and after the cruise, we visited family and friends in Florida.  We enjoyed the cruise and can say we easily accomplished our goal.

Hi Larry and Maggie, and thanks so much for sharing your photo's and memories of your Everglades trip. It's wonderful to see these special places from the eyes of another. Please keep sharing!

Dear Larry and Maggie,

I love the photos and seeing all of the wonderful places you visited through your eyes. What struck me particularly are the vividness of the colors (whether day or night) particularly for the first few photos. I cant believe how huge those ships are. Lots of opportunities to exercise on ship or land too (your guns/arms looked really strong in that shot on board the ship Maggie. Wonderful seeing you both finally in the selfie too. Best, Patricia R. patricia@disabilityin.org
