We ran into some heavy weather, as we did on one of the previous crossings. Following is a copy-and-paste of some of our en route cell phone text-message entries to our blog (read bottom to top), to give you the flavor:

Still bumpy day 5 but we may outrun low pressure by tomorrow. Lots of bridge, great food!

We enjoy sea days and the size of the ship. We throw ourselves into bridge lessons, table tennis, shuffleboard, trivia, etc. Sometimes we almost run from one activity to the next. We have friends and relatives who would go stir-crazy on such a small vessel, but we enjoy the camaraderie and of course the superb food. The well equipped honor-system library is yet another plus for us.
If you have any specific questions please feel free to send me a PM. We're looking forward to hanging around home for awhile after having flown more than 120,000 BIS miles so far in 2009.
Cheers,
Fredd

MSC
We are traveling on the MSC in Jan 2010 out of Ft. Lauderdale. Has any one sailed on this ship? We are also looking for a hotel that will pick us up at the airport and take us to the cruise ship, or would it be easier just to take a cab?? and stay out at a more reasonable hotel. Any Help!!
