Cruise- Day 1

Day 1~ Arriving in Galveston!

It was a pretty smooth day as far as the drive & waiting in the lines to get on board. It took about 1 hour to drop our luggage off, show passports, security check & get our CC info/sail & sign card & of course take our first official cruise picture (which I forgot to get). I couldn't get any pictures of the outside of the ship so those will just have to wait :)

After we made it on we were bombarded with drinks~not that I passed any up lol. But seriously they made them seem like they were free..boy was I wrong! lol

But at least they tasted good for what we were paying for them! We had to wait about 45 minutes before they let any of us into our rooms so we hung out on the top deck with the wind!

Finally..a ship with an atrium! And it was so pretty :)

Walking down to our room.. we were at the VERY back of the ship so u had to catch the right elevator to avoid walking down the extremely long hallway. We figured that out after day 1!!

But it was well worth the walk~I LOVED our room!!!

And loved our aft wrap balcony even more! My head is poking around the corner at the end (it kept going around there plus we opened up Cammy & Leon's partition to extend it even more). We literally had the biggest balcony on the ship!

After getting settled we had to do the muster drill. I was surprised bc we did not need our life jackets which is usually mandatory. And the "presentation" they gave wasn't much of anything. We just knew our group was to go outside of "Alfred's Bar" to get on a lifeboat if we sank lol!!

Then we pretty much just walked around the ship to figure out where everything was & get acquainted!

This is the theater~I think it was 3 floors. Pretty nice!

We headed back out to the balcony to watch us leave..

Voyager of the Seas was also docked behind us.

We went to dinner that night & went to bed! It was a rocky night with choppy seas but it was ok. I think we felt alot more being in the back of the ship.

More to come..
