Cruisers- Our last cruise was 5 years ago. We sailed on the “Spirit” out of Boston for my Mother’s 75th Birthday. We booked 5 cabins for 14 people. This Cruise was just the 4 of us (wife/Me in our 50’s, daughter 22, Son 19).

Friday July 10th - Day 1

We left my mother's at 9:15am and arrived at the Cruiseport at 10am. We dropped my wife and son off with the bags, then my daughter and I parked the car at the parking garage (cruise rate of $20 a day). After a very short walk we were at the Port. The 4 large bags and a 12-pack of Ginger Ale were checked with a Porter. There were no lines and we were all checked in by 10:45am. We were group #6 and got on the Ship by Noon. We went directly to the Venetian for a delicious lunch. We were seated at the window. After lunch we walked around the ship and then went to the "Sail Away Party". At 5:30pm we had dinner at Aqua. At 7pm we went to the "Welcome Aboard Show". This was big disappointment. It was an intro to some of the staff, a boring video and previews of 3 of the weeks upcoming shows. After the show we went up to the walkway on Deck #7 to watch the sunset. We were thrilled to see two unusual things. First we saw a sailing ship on the horizon. I would swear that I was looking at a haunted Ghost Ship sailing across in mist. Then between the Cruise Ship and the "Ghost Ship" we saw a whale. After watching the sunset we walked around the ship. First we listened "Masquerade Duo". We liked them and would catch some of their music every time they played. We then went to the Spinnaker and listened to the group "Great Ideas". We finished our evening with a stop at the Blue Lagoon. We had hot chicken wings (which were very good), tomato soup (very good) and Spinach & Artichoke Dip (had an aftertaste, no one liked it). We set the clocks ahead one hour and went to bed by 11pm (earliest of the week). The kids went up to the hot tub.

Cabin ID

Cabins- The cabin was a little tight for four adults but actually a little bigger than we expected. We had a refrigerator (which I never had in 4 previous cruises), TV with very limited selections, a decent size shower, a safe and decent storage. The beds were very comfortable. We did have an issue with the toilet (a few times) but that was fixed within 2 hours. We got a cabin on Deck #8, midship to minimize the feeling of motion on the ship.
