Day 4

So this day was the day that we would get on the boat and start the cruise! Oh man it was exciting! I'll be uploading pictures once I'm done with all of the days. Unfortunately for you, I'm not likely to upload pictures with myself in them or any people for that matter. Well I might change my mind. Anyways, so the boat was huge. Very big. It actually caught me by surprise! Moving on, we had to go through this security check, like an airport just a little less extensive, and then we got our passes to get on the boat. These passes were neat, because they acted as a charge card, room key card and a ID card to get on and off the boat for excursions. Unfortunately, we hit a problem, after we loaded our luggage and such so it could be put on the boat, we found out that my sister had left her passport in her bag. Which we needed to get onto the boat in the first place. So we had to wait for her bag to get to the room so that we could get her passport and then let her on the boat. The guy was kinda being a jerk about it though. First he was telling us that she needed her passport no exceptions, and then when we had the passport he didn't want to see it. We just told him we had the passport and someone was coming to show it to him. His response, it's ok, just get on the boat. I guess it wasn't that jerkish of him but still. It was annoying. So we were a bit worried about leaving her behind because of the luggage problem.

While waiting on the boat I did a little exploring. I found the gym that I never used, as well as the running track, which I didn't use. I also found a club for teenagers... I think it was ages 13-17. Club O2 it was called. I went in, and they didn't suspect I was older than 17. I don't know what to think about that one though. Also I found out where you can get ice cream 24/7. Delicious! I think I had at least one cone everyday! Then I looked around a bit more, found a club for people that are older than 18 only, as well as the casino, for 18 or older only. But I didn't feel like gambling... yet! Then came dinner time, we went to the dining room, and met our waiter and his assistant waiter! I've got to say, the staff on the cruise were most pleasant. Very nice people, almost always smiling! Some weren't but that's ok, I don't expect people to smile all the time. Anyways, the meal was delicious, I think I had,
