We
have had a busy day!!
Much
to our surprise (not!) our hotel was on the busiest corner in San Pedro! The fire engines serenaded us during the
night and so did the motorcycle gang!
Had somewhat of a “continental” breakfast and left the hotel about 10:30
to make our way to the pier.
Everything
went very efficiently and from car to stateroom took no more than 30 minutes.
The
good news is that there wasn’t a contractor in sight so we breathed a sigh of
relief that we weren’t going to have to lay carpet or varnish the rails!!!
The
ship looks brand spanking new and even has that “new ship smell”!! I’ve never seen a hull so white!
We
took a tour of the new additions and the staff were so happy to show everything
off. The pizzeria looks wonderful and
right next to it is a wine bar called Vines.
They have added an International Café where you can have small plates or
desserts all during the day. Actually
they are open 24 hours so there’s no need to ever miss a meal!!!
Sailaway
was beautiful and about 77 degrees! There was a pod of dolphin that followed the
ship and did their acrobatics for us!
We
missed it but apparently right after we set sail (so no one could change their
mind!!!) the Captain announced that we are heading for some rough seas. We are already rocking quite a bit but
apparently by Monday we will be seeing 20+ foot waves!! Now that’s a ride! I am scarfing my seasick pills!!
We’re
calling it a day and look forward to the “Superbowl” on the ship tomorrow.
Much
love from the “rocker’s”,
XOXOXO

Wow, I thought the Mexico cruise was always such smooth water that it was actually a bit boring. 20 foot waves! Glad you don't scare easily. If there are any first timers on the ship, this may be their last time. haha.
ReplyDeleteWe are heading to Hawaii first and then on the 18th we'll go to Mexico!
DeleteAnd here is something a little more worrisome... Today's paper has a story that TWO Princesses...the Crown and the Ruby are limping into Florida with hundreds of norovirus victims.....thank God you have a freshly remade ship!
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good! I wash my hands more than Howie Mandel!!!!!
