We checked
in, had our photos taken, and then went up to wait for our boarding number to
be called. VIP's first, then L1, then us - L2. We were on the ship by 11:35 -
very quick process. We walked around exploring the ship.
Then up to the buffet
for lunch and then we sat in the sun and ordered the beer special - buy 5 get
one free.
The rooms
were ready by 1:30, so we went to check out our cabin - small but comfy. Back
to get a bit more sun before going to watch a presentation on the ship in the
lounge.
We went
back to our cabin and Diane’s suitcase
and my small carry-on (which I checked) were there but not my suitcase - I was
not happy.
We then had
to go to the muster drill. After muster, we went to Renee and Linda's suite for
sail away. Today is Renee's 50th birthday and she treated herself to a
wonderful suite for her and Linda. Linda also had not received her luggage but
had received a letter telling her she had to go down and claim her luggage
(known as the naughty room). Diane and I went back to our cabin and my luggage
was still not there and there was no letter. I called down and they said I had
to go to the naughty room to claim it. WTF - I had nothing in it that I
shouldn't have (and neither did Linda but Diane had a bottle of wine in her's
and they didn't find it). Went down and had to wait almost 20 minutes which
meant we missed seeing Miami Beach as we sailed away :( Looks like it was
either my can of spray suntan lotion or the insulated mug that caught their
attention. Not impressed...
For dinner
Diane and I went to Crossing dining room. I had the pork and veggie spring roll
and Diane had the shrimp with fingerling potatoes (like potato salad). For
mains I had Moroccan Sweet potato rice cakes and Diane had striploin with
mashed potatoes. For dessert we both had the Key Lime pie.
After
dinner I worked on the blog and Diane spent a few minutes in the casino. Comedy
show later and then bed. It feels like it has been a long day.
