First day on the Caribbean Princess

Our day got off to a good start when we decided to go and see where Good Morning America is broadcast.  We joined the small crowd outside but got some very good pictures of the stars.  Robin Roberts even waved to us as we stood outside!
We had an uneventful ride to the ship, and after meeting up with Andy and Melissa (our son and his wife) we enjoyed our lunch in the buffet.  I had a small lunch but definitely enjoyed dessert, as you can see... rice pudding with vanilla sauce, blueberry roulade, and more. 
As fellow cruisers know, there there is a mandatory safety drill for all passengers before the ship can leave port.  Here's Andy and I after donning our life jackets.  
We had a great view from our room and enjoyed sitting on our balcony this afternoon, with a view of the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan.  

We always like the Pina Colada chilled soup which was served this evening along with a fine entree.  We headed out on deck to watch the ship leave New York, sailing under the Verrazano Narrows bridge, and ended our first day at the Welcome Aboard show in the theater.

And not a mention of the gigantic piece of Prime Rib in the whole post!!! Oh yeah I have eyes and ears on that ship with you :) LOL. Thursday night football is boring!! Pats are stomping the Texans. Ms Molly is doing great. Apparently so is Nana (per Debbie's email). So enjoy that outing tomorrow as the kids get their R&R on the ship. Photo of Lady Liberty was excellent! Can't wait for pics tomorrow....Sylvia
