     The cruise was a 6 day/5 night cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean line ship JEWEL OF THE SEAS. It began on the afternoon of Monday, January 14th, 2013, and made its way leisurely around the Caribbean stopping for a day at George Town on Grand Cayman Island; a day at Cozumel, Mexico; and finally returned, after a final day and two nights of cruising, Saturday, January 19th back in Tampa, Florida.

     The Jewel of the Seas was, essentially, a floating city. Available to us were restaurants, shopping, swimming, exercising, spas, games, a casino, theaters, WIFI, live entertainment and even . . . are you ready? . . . Shuffle Board! It was a time to renew our friendships with our classmates, reminisce about the "glory days", blow our diets or even just relax on a deck chair and read as we watched the Caribbean pass by.
