We are first time cruisers so I read and researched a lot before booking an anniversary cruise for myself and DH. We are both 44, fun loving and adventurous. We were leaving our 2 year old for the first time so although excited about our trip, we were nervous about leaving him.

We traveled to Galveston from Dallas the night before and stayed at the Harbor House to celebrate our anniversary. They upgraded us to a suite. It was a nice surprise. The room was perfect, great view and comfortable. The drive took five hours so we were beat by the time we got there but did not want to waste time resting. We quickly unloaded our bags and promptly set out to explore Galveston. I had been there before but DH had not. We found two bar stools at Maggie Ritas and met a great bartender who took good care of us. It rained all evening but we didn't care. We were having a blast. We had dinner at Fisherman's Wharf, great food, and then drug ourselves back to the hotel and passed out. The next morning, we had breakfast at a nice little diner then toured the Strand.

We boarded the ship at 11:30, wide eyed and full of excitement. We had booked an Aft Wrap on deck 6. After seeing photos from Cruise Critic, we were more than excited about the cabin. We got two drinks of the day and found a seat on the Lido Deck to have some lunch and wait for Sail Away.

Cabin Review

Amazing balcony, unbelievable view, nice sized cabind with lots of storage space. Being on Deck 6, you do hear noise from the Degas Lounge below you but the last show is at midnight and lasts 30 minutes. If you are early to bed, this cabin may not be right for you. It did not bother us.
