out and about on the ship

Ok, so now you've seen a bunch of pics, some scenic stuff, some general sightseeing and fun stuff. Here are some more pics, mostly from our room, to give you an idea where we chillaxed for the week. First of all, Pammer and I had our bags temporarily held, cuz we tried to smuggle liquor on board. Apparently they have xray machines that detect "liquids" and our bags got tagged...as did many others...lol there was a long line up of people waiting to get their bags back!!! And not to worry, our liquor was in safekeeping for the week and we got it back at the end of the trip...that's how they force you to buy their really expensive drinks on the boat, if you want anything alcoholic. Ah room service...what a beautiful invention that is!! We ordered room service a lot, because we were lazy. Many mornings we had a tray such as this delivered to our room, so we could eat in peace, watch the scenery and laze around. We would also order room service in the afternoon, for a light snack. Sometimes it was just coffee and hotchocolate, sometimes it was pizza. The menu wasn't too extensive, but it was still fun to order and have someone bring us food!!! Wish I had that option at home...lol
When our housekeeping boys (victor and victor) would come turn our beds down for night (sweet), they would also bring us new towels (again a delightful service i wish i had at home) They would also make us cute little towel animals and leave us some mints
Check out our bathroom!!!!!!!!! It was huge!! We had a full sized tub!!
Ah yes one of the other delightful things on board...ice cream parlour...i think we went on a daily basis...or sometimes 2x/day. They usually only had a choice of chocolate, vanilla or strawberry (either in hard or soft serve) but one day they had coffee flavored ice cream...it was heavenly! You could also add sprinkles, m&m's or gummy bears.

Welcome to our room!!! (thanks Pammer for the kind hello!) There's theresa behind her coming in the door. Like I mentioned, we had a mini suite...however, much to our delight, we were upgraded to the suite at the FRONT of the boat just a few weeks before departure. Our room was awesome, with a big bed and a couch that pulled out to a bed, a big patio door, nice good sized balcony...and you've already seen the bathroom!! There was also a big closet and a "getting ready" area (i don't know how else to describe it)

See, more of our room, looking the other way, out towards the balcony
Theresa, all set up in her chair, with her book, able to look out the window at the scenery whenever she wanted!
Here's Pammer out and about on the boat
And here I am lounging on the bed
Ahhh...cruising...good times, good times...!!!!!
