April 25, 2003 - Leaving Fort Lauderdale on the Summit

We were in the stateroom we would spend the next 14 days in.  Next to us at dock was the Cunard Queen Elizabeth II (QE2):

We checked out the ship and then they had the mandatory lifeboat drill:

We left before the QE2, starting to pull out about 4:30PM.  Here are pictures as we went down the harbor and out to sea:

What is that motorhome doing there?

We had two sea days to enjoy on the Summit before the first port call in Aruba.
