Our first time on MAS and I’m really liking it. I am a Parrothead from way back. Jimmy Buffet has always been my favorite. Ask my daughters and they will tell you they remember rides in the Camaro with Buffett blaring on the cassette player (am I dating myself???) So come along with me and enjoy 4 days of a Margaritaville party.

Leaving home on a new adventure.  First time on Margaritaville at Sea.

All things considered it was a great, HOT 🔥,  day on #MAS Islander.  Muster station drill needs some work. Long line for check-in, but it really went fast. They had a lot of friendly, organized staff and we were processed (earlier than our time slot) and enjoying the ship quickly.   And music everywhere; live, on the big screen and recorded piped in. So far, my favorite part.

Day 3 – Our day in port – Cozumel

Day 4 at sea. Most of the following pictures are from the ceremony for Heros. It was absolutely amazing and heartwarming. After recognizing all branches of the military, they also recognized first responders, firefighters, police, nurses & teachers.
