Cruisin' on Celebrity
-DAY 1, Port of Miami, Florida-
Saturday
5 Nov 2016
Today was fun. I slept like shit for some reason, same might happen tonight. Got up and had coffee before our PACKED shuttle to the cruise ship. Boarding was quite a cluster and I know all ports are different but by comparison, at this point Royal Caribbean is kicking ass.
The ship did have two super important inspections which it aced and to the crew CONGRATULATIONS! That's exciting for them. We showed up too early and eventualy got to board. We upgraded or drink packages instantly and got to the buffet which was important because I was quite HANGRY.
Oh P.S. I forgot to mention how my brother smuggled scissors into his carry on... ......
Anyway, the food was three thumbs up. A ton of options, including the most delicious guacamole. We went to the smoking bar because everybody smokes but me. I instantly hated it, sorry to the smokers but I think your habit is gross and I don't want to be around it. Next we checked out the Passport Bar and ironically Ashley had lost her ID card 😂😂 It's simple to get a new one so no biggie and we got our drinks. There are a million bars on this boat but none as amazing as Schooner Bar 😭.
We also visited the game area where we found some lecherous Greek playing cards and played a variety of different games on a table with a built in computer screen (boggle, memory, gem snatcher?). Our high score name is MBA so I'll refer to the three of us as that from here on out.
Dinner was good, they do have a vegan menu available which is awesome for Ashley. I just love going to the dining room.
Afterward I went to freshen up and then meet Ash & Bri at the theatre for the comedy show. The guy's name is Rondell Sheridan and he looked SO familiar... finally found out he's the dad from 'That's So Raven' 😂. It was driving me and Ash nuts and he's done so much TV he had no idea which show we may have seen him on. He was great! Very funny.
We randomly ran into our parents after the show when BA went to vape (vape like vapor cigs, which don't bother me). They had run into a couple they met on a previous cruise. I was of course anti-social since it was the smoking area. We went in to get drinks, I don't even remember honestly what bar we were at but there was a dude sitting by himself so naturally everyone's like ohhhh Melissa.. ....... I mean he was nice but it's far too awkward when everyone is so pumped about you talking to some dude. He was from LA and is a pilot. But seriously I'm not interested right now and instead of going to sleep I had like 32 more drinks and now I'm hungry and wired.
Sea day tomorrow, thank goodness. Hope I'll kick this hangover quick (And I did have one).
