Whelp, we arrive early in Fort Lauderdale, and basically sit around waiting to get off the ship. We weren’t in any particular hurry since we had plenty of time before our flight. 
Probably somewhat just as well because it did seem like they were running a little slow getting people off today. Nothing quite as bad as our time in Galveston, but definitely slower than the plan. Fort Lauderdale doesn’t let you check in more than about 3 hours before your flight, so we spent some extra time fine tuning the weight allotment between our suitcases. Thankfully there was even a chance to get to an extra scale, so it was pretty easy to check things. Getting home, well, let’s just say it was quite a bit colder in Michigan than it was on the cruise. The only day at home above freezing during January was a couple days before we got back from the cruise. We had snow on the ground for basically from the day after we got back all the way through the rest of the month.
