I left off with me just getting to the port. I had started my walk at 11:53 and made it back to the port at 12:35. Mom had been sitting in the sun waiting for me, talking to CMs. I can’t express the excitement!!! Reconnected again, we headed into the cruise terminal
I guess I was too excited to make sure these pictures weren’t blurry. Sorry.
Through security first and then to the check-in area. There were way too many grumpy faces around us. I wanted to remind them we’re going on a cruise, smile people! I bit my tongue.
Quickly checked in by the lovely CM Kathleen. She told us of a jewelry store she always goes to in Cabo which we intended to go find if we got off the ship. All checked in, with gold lanyards in hand, we headed to the ship.
But then saw Captain Mickey!!!
Mom asked him if he was going cruising with us, I quickly reminded her he was our Captain, of course he was coming!
As we got ourselves together I thought I saw Karin and Tom pass us by, but since I wasn’t 100% sure I didn’t call out their names. I should have, it was definitely them.
Excitement barely contained we headed to the ship
Introduced as Mom and Pamela, we danced onto our home for the next two weeks. Being on the ship was almost too exciting!
First course of action was to photograph the gorgeous chandelier.
Next up was the very anticipated first lunch of the cruise. Up to Beach Blanket Buffet we went.
My plate
Mom’s
Then some yummy desserts
Mom said this cake was very good
I had some raspberry whipped cream delight
And the top half of this cheesecake
Did I have a second one of these or mom had one? Not sure but a second one landed at our table.
And mom had this, a lemon coconut something. She wasn’t crazy about it, I think it was a little dry.
Overall first lunch was just as good as always anticipated. I wanted to have some fries but they didn’t have any in BBB, apparently they only have the fries out at the QS. I thought that was weird because on the Dream and Fantasy they have giant steak fries at Cabanas as well as the QS place. I would get some fries later, because first we needed to go find our stateroom!
