The cruise is over, but the memories remain.

| Peek-a-boo at Dinner with Beck Utopia of the Seas January 8, 2026 |
We drove the Mustang Mach-e and charged it at the hotel--for free! Yes, I was excited. And it worked. It was very nice to get into the car this morning and know that we had enough charge to get home. We charged it overnight the night we stayed at the hotel.
It is always sad when a cruise comes to an end. And that was the same this morning.
But, it was fun. Last evening we enjoyed a rousing game of peek-a-boo in the main dining room during dinner. Beck was in great form and makes the game very enjoyable. He loves food. All kinds of food, but once he is full, well he needs something to do while the adults complete their meals. Peek-a-boo was a diversion.
We spent time in the baby pool yesterday as well. As it was a sea day, the pools were all very full. Beck loves the water and was all over the pool.
Last evening, I was sitting on the veranda after dark and notices a large vessel traveling north as we were. I checked my maritime app and determined it was another cruise chip headed to Port Canaveral, as we were. Looking further at the app, I was stunned by the number of cruise ships on the screen. I checked each one, and except for one duplicate, all of the blue triangles are cruise ships! We were effectively in a group of five cruise ships headed to Port Canaveral. I guess, given that there are three major cruise ports on the Florida east coast, it is to be expected that there are so many cruise ships plying the waters of the Western North Atlantic.

We made port this morning just before 6 AM. It was dark. I enjoy taking pictures at night when the water reflects the lights.
We made it home safely and now are thinking about planning our next adventure.
