| Grand Cayman |
Although we have sailed in January before, this cruise was exceptionally cool, windy and overcast (not as bad as the trans-Atlantic, but unexpected for the Caribbean). We had planned on staying aboard the ship anyway, because Grand Cayman is a tendering port. Then, we got word that we hand to tender on the other side of the island due to high winds. The port had nothing but cabs there---many turned around and came back to the ship. Cozumel was also overcast (see below)

The days at sea were also rough and cool---the photo on the right is me walking with my leather jacket and capris.
This was also my first cruise with no chocolate on my pillow each night. Other cost-cutting was in their print material---everything was black and white (compared to Disney glossy paper and color for the same port).
In the past, we got hats or lanyards and certificates for services---no hats and a print out (not certificates) for free or reduced costs. One RCL cruise, we even got a free dinner at a specialty restaurant. But, not this time. I even had to ask for conditioner because there was only shampoo in a pump bottle in the shower.
The biggest unexpected event was still to come---we docked in New Orleans after an ice storm. The roads had just opened that morning. But even with all of this, the trip was better than being at home--BRR!
