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.

Headaches (Post 2, Steven's Version)

Hey it's Steven here, from the boat, on the computer service. But this post is about yesterday.

I began the day going through the rigorous lines to enter the boat. After entering "Sovereign of the Seas", I immediately went to our room, which was quite small, but I liked it. Grandma didn't, but I'll let her talk about that. That night, we saw a comedian and I came down with a bad headache, and I had to spend the night in bed while Grandma went out. I watched "I Am Sam" on the movie channel.

I woke up at around ten, and went upstairs to a restruant called "Johnny Rockets" where I had a burger and fries. I fell back asleep, and woke up at Cococay Beach. But I'll post today's story tonight.

I have filmed about ten videos, from a tour of the boat, to a special "Ren & Terry", and the secret video I call "Man, It's So Loud In Here".

More tonight, with Post 3. (I'll have Grandma post her version of yesterday within the hour.)
