Oh Ship, It's Not What I Thought! (Post 2, Elaine's Version)

Well, it is an experience. Our first night wasn't exactly as I had expected but, I'm getting accustomed to having the ability to brush my teeth, take a shower and use the toilet without making a move.

I did manage to get suitcases unpacked and stowed - thank goodness. We have about about 150 sq. feet - my next cruise will be some ship's maiden voyage - new and bright.

Our dinner table is shared with a family of 4 who are very disillusioned with the cruise as well. Steven's headache kept him hostage in the room a large part of last night until about 10 PM when he discovered hunger pangs - which made us realize he hadn't had much to eat all day. Johnny Rocket's came in real handy with burgers and fries.

I enjoyed a very late night sitting on the 11th deck beside the pool listening to my ipod with a lovely ocean breeze blowing. Well that was about all of the first day - tomorrow will be more of what we did today.
