This was my first cruise, my best friend of thirty seven
years' and I dreamed of going on a cruise for quite
sometime, our dream finally came to reality! It was
everything we had hoped for!
We flew from Nashville to
Miami, the travel agents from where we booked our trip (Bestfares.com)
were waiting at baggage claim for us, to escort us to Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida to board the ship. It was extremely
organized.
Once we boarded the ship,
their was lunch served and we were showed to our room, which
was on the fourth deck, and close to an entrance door, so
that we didn't have to walk very far. We chose a window
view, and our room was very spacious, with twin beds.
While waiting for our
luggage to arrive, we strolled around the ship, admiring all
the things to do. There were so many activities planned,
with a sheet given out each day to keep us informed of times
and where the activities were to be scheduled.
The food was great, with
having a choice of the dining room, or buffet. We went to a
different show in the theater every night. We enjoyed
hanging out at the Casino, and dancing in the Crown Viking
Lounge until the wee hours of the morning.
During the day, we lounged
by the pool and enjoyed the activities by the pool side,
with lots of food prepared and the staff was always right
there to take our drink orders.
After taking a nap in the
late afternoon, and then showering to go out at night, upon
returning to our room, our beds were always made up, with
the nicest crisp sheets.
The staff of this ship were
so wonderful in making our vacation the most memorable
experience. Everyone on the ship were so nice, it was like
one big family and sad when we had to say our good byes to
the wonderful folks we had met. Our excursions were very
well planned and organized. It was all perfect.
