We arrived in Galveston on Friday the 9th of April and stayed at the Casa Del Mar. We really enjoyed the hotel and even made the 30 minute trip to T Bone Toms in Kemah, as featured on the Food Network, for dinner on Friday evening. We had pedicures done at Regal Nails in the Walmart in Galveston, which was a treat for my daughter and mother in law who we took on the cruise. We just bummed around Galveston on Saturday, but really enjoyed ourselves. Make sure to ride the free ferry both directions if you get the chance, you will usually see dolphins jumping near the ferry.

We left our vehicles parked at the Casa Del Mar and took a taxi over to the cruise terminal. Embarkation went very smoothly and really didn't take very long at all. Our stateroom was ready for us when we boarded and were able to drop our carry on bags immediately. We went up to the Lido deck to get some lunch and made the mistake of accepting the DOD from a waiter. They were $7.75 a piece and tasted like they had Hawaiian Punch and Bacardi Rum in them. We spent the next couple of hours exploring the ship and figuring out how to get around.

That afternoon after the muster drill we attended the meeting for the children services. It was geared towards the younger children and their parents. The person in charge of the Circle "C" club spoke for all of 10 seconds to introduce herself. It was a total waste of my time because I didn't learn anything about the Circle "C" club except to be handed a schedule. I was immediately concerned that the major Circle "C" activities were scheduled during the late seating hour for dinner.

If you are travelling with 4 people in a stateroom this one is tiny. There is no sitting area, so if you are in your room you must sit on the beds.
