9-01, Embarkation Day

OK so it is now 9:45 and the ship is a rocking. Had a successful dinner, like these servers much better. We have Collin for drinks, Mariano fro Brazil or Chile and Arnold from Trinidad is our head server. OMG I LOVE THIS TEAM. They are so much better and friendlier than the team on the EB PC. I had a grin from ear to ear. Course, it was great fun to have an almost complete table from the 2006 Special Carribbean cruise. Heck we even had our old server from the Wonder and we floored her when she seen us all.



Alen came by and said hi to us and I could have kissed him. Dinner was a success and I couldn't stop grinning. We are eating at 6 pm and it turned out to be pretty nice. We got done by 7:30 and was in the Walt Disney Theatre in plenty of time. Did you all know that there are house lights and they are extremely bright? LOL - Steve and I have never made it while the lights were still up. Brent was our emcee - guess he is back on as cruise director. We had a magician from England and he was pretty good, also the physical comedy of Jeff Silvilco or something like that.



The only bad part of the evening is that at dinner we started to hit some rollers. It got bad enough that Steve had to leave the show. I sat next to Pam and Mike and he had a rolling good time. Show ended and on the way to my cabin, the ship rolled hard enough to bump me into a wall. Not extremely bad but still a lot harder than anything on the EB passing. I hope this is the worse of it. I am not entirely green - just enough to make me go to bed but not sure if that is because of being tired or just a bit nauseous. I am sick of being full.



DIS had their meet on deck 10 and I became an honorary member of the grass skirt and coconut bra sorority and fraternity for Steve. He made his escape before I could post a picture. Seeing as I am out on the sea, I don't believe I can post again as I have to use DCL's bandwidth so you all have to wait and see.



Dinner was with Liz and Neil and their son Tony and his wonderful, beautiful girlfriend. They are a hoot. I wish I had thought to capture the look on Chintana's face when she saw our old table back together again.



I hope that some day I can again sail with my EB PC table. That would be a blast. Got a quote for M's Dummy cruise and that will run about $3,400 for a cat 4-7. We shall see. I don't really have a choice so I am going to book tomorrow.



OK folks, I am still using the last 1/2 hr of our
