photos - family vacation - part 8

We waited until the all clear signal which was six short and one long sound from the horn of the ship. Only people who were completely deaf would miss hearing those sounds! At the end of the drill the captain said "chow" which is Italian for bye. You can see the looks of shock on Lisa, Michelle and Tanya's face. The Italian captain on the Carnival Destiny was a good captain and we had no incidents of heading too close to land :)
Once everyone passed the emergency evacuation drill the ship started pulling away from the dock and started heading up the channel to the open sea. We waved Bon Voyage to the Carnival Imagination ship.
This ship is yet another cruise ship. I don't know the name of it.
The Miami port area is beautiful and we all enjoyed looking around as the ship headed up the channel.
Some people with a lot of money have some pretty large boats!
