Day One

By the time we reached Norfolk and boarded the ship, i was ready for a nap. But we had the safety drill first. Then we starting moving around 5pm. You do notice the movement of the boat, but the motion hasn't made me sick. We ate dinner at 8:30 and then i hit the casino. When i blew $20 in 15 minutes, i decided that it wasn't much fun.

Mike and Sarah went to bed early because Sarah was experiencing motion sickness. This left me flying solo, which isn't much fun on a cruise. Everyone is paired up with someone. I wandered around blew another $5 in the casino. Checked out every level and even stood at the front of the ship. Just like in Titanic, except no Leonaro.

Today I slept in and got ready leisurely. I managed to waste some time listening to a talk about shopping in Bermuda. Then played a game of Bingo, but i didn't win. At 1:15 it was time for my spa treatment. YAY!

First she brushed my arms and legs. Then put some green seaweed goop all over my body. Finally i was wrapped up in foil, just like a baked potato. After 20 minutes, i washed the goop off. Then begain my hour massage. It was wonderful. I felt so relaxed. Not sure if it was worth $250, but oh well.

So far my opinion of crusin is that it is sorta fun, but there's not much to do. I didn't realize that i needed to be active all the time, but i guess i do. It's also really hard to be here all by myself. It would be a lot more fun with a group of friends. There are lots of activities to do, but i'm not really excited to do them alone. Have i mentioned that most of the people on the cruise have white hair? Well they do.

Tonight is one of the formal dinners. So i'll get all dressed up. Should be sorta fun. Tomorrow we port in Bermuda, and we'll hit the town. I'll keep you posted. Internet access is only 50 cents a minute. :)
