WOW!!!!!! What can I say....words can't begin to describe our trip! We can still feel the motion of the ocean now. After a long drive down from South Carolina we found ourselves in Cocoa Beach at the Fawlty Towers Hotel. Not a bad place for a one night er, very beautiful court yard with palms and exotic plants every where. For only 75.00 it wasn't bad. Not 4 star but for one night OK. We went out to dinner that night and had a great meal. Got up the next morning and had breakfast. As I went to pay I realized that my debit card was gone!!!!!!!!!Holy terror! I had left my card in the holder that your bill comes in at the end of your meal at the place we had dinner! I was sick by now with terror. We made our way back to the restaurant and say that it opened at 11:00. Well we wanted to be on the ship by 12:00, but with no credit card we thought that there was no way we could even got on board for the trip. Well at around 9:00 a guy that worked there showed up and ......yes our card was still there!!!!!!!!!! So with that over with we were off to the ship.
Embarkation was a snap, no probs. after a short wait up stairs, oh yes have all your paper work filled out before you get to the counter, it will speed things up. On the ship we went. All we could do was stair, what a sight! This was our first cruise, and if they can get any better we wont be able to stand it! The rooms open at 1:30 and were very nice, clean and not to small. Our beds were put together and a nice towel animal greeted us. The bath area was bigger than we thought it would be. Our room steward was Joseph.....the very best we could have hoped for. We figured out early that getting from one end of the ship to the other was done by walking our level to one of the elevators and going up from there. Our first day at sea started out cool and rainy but by wen. it cleared off and was great. The ship was full as far as I can tell and if you wanted to be in the mix of people you could be or just find a quite spot and relax you could do that as well.
The ship its self was clean always picked up and everywhere you looked someone was wiping down and cleaning. The food was good, even the s car go .......well we didn't like it but it was hot when served. We tried most of the items we would not get at a restaurant normally. I didn't have anything that was just gross. Some things we liked a lot and others we just did;t care for. Our table guests were from outside Atlanta, and from a small town that I work in! Great nights at the dinning table. Our waiters were great as well.
