Cruising (the experience) has been eye opening. The next time I'm suggested a vacation somewhere, my first question is likely to be... Is there a cruise going there?
RCCL is a fine dining experience, in my opinion. I don't know if it's like this for everyone, but for me, it's been spectacular, awesome, amazing, epic and legend (wait for it) dary...
From the first night, I have felt like royalty. Not because the statesman, Marlon, was a nice guy and made sure we had ice and made us cute towel animals, but because, the people that needed to remember our names, did so, and with a smile. Sure, there were things, there are always things, like the obnoxious pool attendant that told me I couldn't have a drink in the pool after his guy sold it to me to begin with... The kids that insisted on hanging out at the adults only Solarium Pool, the reservations at My Time dining that were almost always late, but all in all, they did a great (see above adjectives) job.
Whether you cruise with RCCL or not, I have to acknowlegde a few staff members from Navigator of the Seas: Christian
I say maiden voyage but something happened on the 2nd night that was a nice surprise... Nelson went to the Crown & Anchor station (since he has cruised before) and they linked his account to mine, so I'm officially a return customer! We went to the Captains Welcome Back cocktail party and even had special treatment for pool chairs. If Gold has it this good, I can't wait for Platinum in just 15 more cruising days.
The Casino has been loads of fun. Ernie taught me how to play craps and we enjoyed a pretty good run on the Blackjack tables. Not anything too outrageous or I'd be staying for another week! LOL
The food is of course, great. I avoided Windjammer because the one time we went, of course, I overate! I offered to stay limited because given the chance... Ugh, I could be in trouble... Thankfully, the excursions have worked us out enough that decadent dinners were our treat for the day.
The Dungeon Disco reminded me of my friends back home. We would have danced the night away if this had been a Bahamas trip, but of course, once 11pm rolled around (and we knew the following morning was an early one) we went back to bed!
Tonight is another formal night. Tomorrow we are At Sea, and Sunday, we are back in Italy for a night.
Will write soon.
Love and Miss you all!
