8 ships in Port Everglades

Photo 1: Caribbean Princess and Silversea Silver Wind (I think- look closely, it's tiny!)

Photo 2: Oasis of the Seas (one of the two largest in the world)

Photo 3: Carnival Freedom

Photo 4: Celebrity Eclipse

Photo 5: Holland America Eurodam (the Noordam will be similar)

Photo 6: Grand Princess

And us. Eight ships!

With 8 different muster drills taking places at the same time, 8 different emergency signals being sounded, 8 sailaway parties, the jets taking off from nearby Fort Lauderdale airport and a news helicopter circling above, it's a bit overwhelming. And if all that isn't enough, the debauchery already underway on the Carnival Freedom next door (what DO they do at their sailaway parties)...it's a circus!
