Hi All! I am on a 5 day Mexico Cruise with my gals, Jessica and Gina! We got on the boat around 1:00 and stopped by our cabin (M156). I like our deck because the cabin halls are painted blue.
Next, we went up to the Lido Deck for lunch... my favorite lunch entree was the eggplant tart (yummy! A thin pastry with eggplant mozzarella and tomato), Jessica liked the broiled fish and Gina (and Jess!) liked the cheesecake.
Sorry, but those of you who have read the "Grant and Bobbi vacation blog" know my obsession with describing food - particularly cruise food.
After lunch, we explored the ship some, and then came back to our cabin to unpack. After the lifeboat drill, we dropped off our lifejackets and headed up to the aft lido deck and got three lounge chairs to sit on for sail away.
We all called our men to say goodbye as we sailed away from port, and watched someone fly a kite off of the back of the ship.
Now, we are back in the room getting dressed for dinner!
Dinner was yummy. We ate in the Destiny Dining room at 8:00. By 8:20, we were still the only three at our 9 person table when two, well, interesting people showed up. (Around the time our soup was served, you could really begin to feel the ships motors shaking - the lady leaned over and said to us, "Is it just me or are your panties vibrating too?" And by dessert, we got a lovely joke from the man about two cowboys, a sheep, and well, you don't really need to know the rest.)
Anyway, for dinner, Jess and I both ordered the escargot, and Gina ordered a portable mushroom appetizer. We all got the pumpkin soup, and then Gina had linguine, Jessica had a seafood spectacular with prawns, scallops, and fish, while I had the beef Wellington. Dessert was strawberry cheesecake for Gina and I and Orange sponge-cake for Jessica.
After dinner, we went to see "Deal, or No Deal." Basically - you payed 10$ for a raffle ticket (or $20 for 3) and if your ticket was drawn you got to be a contestant. It was played just like the-real show, except there were 18 briefcases, and the most you could win was $1000. When they drew the ticket (Jessica, by the way, bought tickets to try to play) They had a little girl come up and draw. The man who played (and won $140) gave the little girl $20 of his winnings... ahhhh... so cute!
Then we went to the Queen Mary Lounge and watched a dating game. it was pretty funny, but we were pretty tired....
I am excited. These girls are like sisters to me. I have hoped for a long time that we could do something like this. I hope that this trip if full of fun memories and good times for them!
Tomorrow, Catalina!
