Cruise Day One -- After Noon


After unpacking, Chris and I went off to do the Treasure Hunt in the Centrum. The Centrum was the shopping area where all the little shops were. We had a list of questions to go around and ask the people attending the shops. After we filled in the answers, we put them into the drawing for several prizes. You had to be there to win. Several people wasn't so they would redraw. One person was drawn twice and the second drawing was declared not legal. One entry per person. If I had thought about it, I would have entered more than once to equal out the chances more into our favor. Oh well. Needless to say, we didn't win anything.

After the Treasure Hunt was done, we went to our room to get our life jackets for the Muster call. Good timing because there was a thirty minute warning we got to our rooms. We chilled out for about ten minutes and then proceeded to our Muster stations. People were already lining up. They made us line up in the middle of a lounge on the seventh floor. Looks like we were the only station not lined up on a deck. I imagine that we would be the last ones off the boat if there was a real emergency. When we were finally released, we made a bee-line for our room to put up the life jackets and then to the pool deck for the Sail Away Party. They had people near the band doing some dancing like the electric slide. Before you knew it, we were sailing!

Pictures of what we saw as we sailed away from port:

This boat got right against us!

Random people doing the electric slide!

I think our camper was the one in the middle of the trees.


Our family wishing us Bon Voyage!




Our camera didn't give this view of the city any justice.
Last chance to jump ship!
