Five days Sailing from St. Thomas to Miami meant lots of time for walking on the
Promenade and eating some great meals and taking in some evening shows.

When we arrived in Miami, we just stayed on board and packed for
debarkation in Houston. All these pictures are from the ship. The Miami
area is large, High-rise buildings visible as far as you can see up and down
the coast. The harbor / port itself was bustling with boat and barge traffic.
