Disembarkation and Return Home
We disembarked pretty early Friday morning with all our belongings!
We made it onto our GoPort transfer back to the airport. We did have to wait a bit for it to arrive, but it was MUCH cheaper than an Uber. If you're traveling to the port the morning of embarkation or to the airport the morning of disembarkation, we'd highly recommend. They do not offer night-before embarkation transfers.
our plane? I guess?

| I have no idea what went wrong ... but this was clearly a bad travel day :) |

| Again - IDK what's wrong ... but I'm guessing AA did it :) |

| Judging by the previous photos, I'm guessing we're excited here because we made it onto our plane? |
Sorry guys - I really shouldn't wait until 2 months after a trip to blog it!
Independence of the Seas - A Hodgepodge
Skypad has a VR option where you can jump on a bungee connected trampoline wearing VR classes. We did it. It wasn't great.
We watched an ice skating show one night ... and Wifey ice skated a couple of times during free skate hours.
We visited Cafe Promenade for coffee ... often!
We ate food. So much food.
Magnets make great clothes hangers for some natural drying in the balcony breeze!
We played put-put at sea. This was probably the second most fun Wifey had on the trip. Second to the snorkeling.
We watched Encanto by the pool one afternoon. Happy to see it but would not recommend the venue. It was difficult to hear (though captions were provided) and pretty cold.
The running track was so-so. But it did its job.
So many masks and lanyards. #CovidTravel But our magnetic hooks were live savors for organization!
Our last sunset of the cruise!

Perfect Day at CocoCay!
Wifey was not really looking forward to CocoCay. She was wrong. It was/is awesome. We had two main activities planned for our visit to the island (1) Zip-lining and (2) snorkeling.
Ziplining was a pre-scheduled/purchased ticket and we had booked this for about 9:00 am, or maybe 30 minutes after our ship was due to dock and we could disembark. We hurried off the ship as soon as we were able and stashed all or gear for the day in a free locker near the zip line shack and enjoyed killing some time (we were early!) taking advantage of the ship's photographers who were stationed nearby with their cameras!
We stopped by again after our ziplining experience to catch two shots in all our gear!
Once we'd Zip-Lined and returned our gear, we started off in search of Snorkel Beach and a sunken shipwreck. Sadly, figuring out exactly which patch of ocean this sunken shipwreck was under was a bit of a challenge and pushed both our swimming tolerance to its edge. Wifey did, eventually, spot a sunken wreck and, with Hubby's encouragement, made a second trip into the ocean to reach it with her underwater camera (Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday to me 2021).
After snorkeling and Zip Lining, we ate lunch at CocoCay. it was spectacular.
