Day 1 - Boarding the Ship

Well everyone, hello! I know that I have been M.I.A. for a few days, but internet access is not cheap at sea. So here is a day by day recount of the cruise. It was AMAZING, by the way. Each day will be a new post with pictures, so dont worry! Some days have more pictures than others, so don't be disapointed if there are few lacking.

Day 1 - Boarding the Ship

Well, the morning started with DeeDee coming to pick me up at about 10:30 in the morning and off we were. Well not really. We were off to her house so her dad could take us to the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. It took us about an hour and a half to get down there from Calabasas. We did hit a little traffic. Once we got down to the port it was about 2:00 in the afternoon and we were right on schedule. We got our bags out of the trunk, gave them to the appropriate people and were off with our carry-ons to get checked in and our SeaPass cards. The SeaPass card is basically your EVERYTHING card on the ship. Its your room key, your credit card, your ID your pass to the shows, EVERYTHING.

After we got our SeaPass cards and were on the boat (at about 3:00), we went to find out room. We were on Deck 3 at the bow of the boat (the front) the room was nice and big. We put our bags down, sat for a minute then went to wander. We found the Casino right away and made a mental note. We then found the Guest Relations Desk and registered ourselves for and Exploration in Cabo. We decided to do Snuba (more on this later), we also signed DeeDee up for the Canopy Zip Line tour in Puerto Vallarta which I was already signed up for. When we went to sign DeeDee up it said that the trip was full, but the guest relations assistant that was helping us said that he would get her on the trip. So, after that we went to wander some more before the Saftey Drill at 4:30.

After the Safety Drill, we decided to relax for a little bit and wouldn't you know it, our bags were waiting for us in the room when we got back. Amazing! So once we got back to the room and our bags were there, we decided to unpack. I thought I had over-packed, but did not indeed. So by the time we had unpacked and gotten settled it was time to get ready for dinner. We went up to the Aquarius Dinning Room and were shown to our table, we were at table 51 for the second seating. Forgive me for not remembering what we had to eat, it was a few days ago.

By the time dinner was over it was 10:00 p.m. and believe it or not we were exhuasted. So, it was off to bed for us.
