Cruuuuusin' Night One

After an amazing time in New Orleans,

with some minor heartbreak

[megaughnevergonnagetoverit]

the day arrived for

THE CRUISE!

EEEK

WHOOP

YAY

HUZZAH

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Can you tell I was excited?

Monday morning was spent recovering from Sunday night

and packing up the room.

Babyspice and Sportyspice were flying out late in the evening

so we all went to Cafe Du Monde for breakfast

and then walked around a little bit

before C and I had to head to port.

The ship left port at 4pm

but we were instructed to

try and be on board at least

2 hours before we shipped out.

Word to the wise:

PRINT OUT EVERYTHING BEFORE

YOU GET TO THE SHIP!

It will make everything much easier.

We didn't and everything was fine,

but it was a bit more of a hassle.

We checked in, were given our 'key card' [important],

took preboarding pictures, were searched,

then VOILA, we were on the ship!

We had a few hours to explore the ship

and figure out the layout.

Whilst exploring we came across

the SPA!

[cueangelchorus..ahhhhhh]

Since C put everything together for the cruise,

I told him I would buy him a spa package

as a thank you.

He loved the idea and wouldn't you know,

they had an opening for a couple's massage

later that day.

SIGN US UP PLEASE!

We went back to our room, unpacked

the suitcases that magically appeared

then headed back to the SPA.

WOW, a massage after an intense

day of kickball,

was just what the doctor ordered.

After we were all noodley we changed

and then headed to dinner.

We chose the late seating,

and had the whole table to ourselves

the first night.

Our staff was wonderful and super fun.

The food was awesome, I had the lasagna,

SO GOOD!

Once dinner was over, we grabbed a drink

and chilled out, listening to the piano player.

We thought of going to one of the clubs,

or the piano bar, but honestly,

we were both so exhausted.

Early bedtime FTW!

All in all, an awesome start to our 

cruise vacation.

Since blogger was being STUPID about uploading pictures

I decided to try something new.

Please enjoy my SLIDESHOW of pictures.

This was my FIRST attempt at created a slideshow

so it's very simple

and small.

I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: You might need to pause it to let it load all the way.

A few points:

-Yes I take pictures of food, it was pretty wonderful!

-Yes, I take pictures in mirrors because I was too scared to ask someone to do it for us. LAME sauce I know, but I wanted documentation of all the outfits, haha.

-This slideshow is room picture heavy, sorry.
