First Cruising Report

We got off to a bumpy start as the train from Fayetteville was stalled on the tracks south of the station for over 3 hours. We finally had to give up on the train and take a taxi home and get in the Saturn and drive here. 9 hours through NC, VA, MD, DE and NJ to the terminal. Then we parked the car and just made the boat with about 1/2 hour to spare *whew*.
We had a super dinner with the parents and family in the big dining room and then explored all over the ship. It was WINDY, but we had a lot of fun running around and finding everything we had been reading about.
The library on ship is a little pathetic. It looks like most of the books are things the former passengers left behind (very eclectic). I’m going to see if they have a person who works there and if they get to select the books. Cruise ship librarian wouldn’t be such a bad job.
Today we had room service breakfast, then I finished my skirt for the formal night (tonight) and Tom went swimming. After a nice buffet lunch, we went to the pool and then we came to the e-lounge to do some internet surfing $.50 a minute, so updates will be short.
One more day at sea and Monday we’ll be in St. Thomas.
