The checking in process was a little crowded and loud for me, but I wasn't feeling well. I think I ate something funky and my stomach was retaliating. I am the fire farter... twisted fire farter!!
So, took a cab to the pier from the National Hotel for about $15 bucks. As fast aas I could get out of the cab, the porter had our bags and reminded us that they are not part of the tipping pool and we should tip him. nice. blunt. direct.
We headed in to the cattle line into Norwegian's building and was sprayed for the first time of about a zillion with antibac spray. They made me chuck my water since I had cracked the seal. - so much for the sneaking in of VODKA!! ha. slinked thru the metal detectors and found the line for balcony and above. The checkin process was neat and tidy. There wasn't a lot of true non broken english spoken by any staff after this, with the exception of the cruise director, Shanna. Next was a BIGASS LINE to get onboard the ship.. wait to wait. We FINALLY pushed through onto the 7th deck where the customer service desk and wexcursions desk are. Our rooms wouldn't be ready until 2, so we went to check that big mothertrucker out.
lunch at the blue moon fast foody place on deck 7. tony had wings and I had the wonton soup. We ended up on 12 chillin in beach chairs around the pee pool havin bloody marys.
At about 3:30 after the rooms were ready for us, they had the safety thingy. Life jackets in hand, we headed to the 7th floor port side. I was starting to sway with the thought that I was gonna barf... on everyone. panic stricken, i made it through the ENDLESS demonstration of how we would all calmly (ha) get onto the lifeboat and safely get away from the huge deathtrap of a ship we had all committed our lives to for 7 days. I didn't make it too long after that. BARF and I was much better! let the fun begin. We signed up for the couples spa pass for $150 so we'd be able to chill child-free.
Dinner the first night was in the Zoo (Garden cafe buffet) I didn't feel well enough yet to waste a sit down fancypants.
ahhhhh.. WAKEY WAKEY. We had room service (horrible) carafe of coffee and fruit/yogurt/cereal. nice touch.!
This is our first sea day. I'm sure we wandered around a bit more. We had lunch in the Venetian with a unbelievable view from the aft (back) of the ship. I have no idea what we did next. I do know that is the day Tony tied one on and hung out in the casino with his new crazy ass best friend! hahah.. kidding.
Dinner... hmmmm... I'm pretty sure I tried to get us reservations at the main dining room, but they told me i'd have to go first come first serve.. We ate at Aqua - mid ship 7th deck.. We both had the Chateaubriand - yum!! and I got a bottle of wine- then, every meal we had after that- we gave the the ticket and after 20 minutes, they had our wine!yay!
