My cousin and I decided to take a cruise this summer to celebrate Graduation. We both had never been on a cruise before, and had no idea what to expect. We both had an amazing time, and we want to book another cruise soon. Going into the cruise, we had a few questions we asked ourselves. Is the ship safe for two young women? Will i get sea sick? How will I know where to go? Let me tell you, the answers to those questions were all positive.

The Ship was soooo safe. Everyone is there trying to have a good time and a relaxing vacation, so leaving our beach bag on our chair while we dipped in the pool was no problem. There was one time where we weren't sure about leaving our bag unattended, so the staff at the towel stand stored our bag for us for a while. That brings me to the staff; the staff on this cruise ship are beyond amazing. Not once did I run into an employee who didn't say Hello or didn't have a smile on their face. When ordering drinks by the pool they were singing songs and cracking jokes! The house keepers were always singing and always told us good morning. Being home sick was hard because everyone on the ship felt like family! It was bitter sweet to leave them at the end of the cruise.

To my second question! Will I get sea sick? Now I am not a good flyer, planes make me sick and so do small boats, so I was very worried about cruising. I took a Dramamine everyday keep in mind. The only time I really felt the boat moving was in our room. We had an interior cabin on the front of the ship. Sometimes I leaned against the wall in the shower just to keep my balance. When I laid down for sleep i didn't notice it as much, it was mostly when I was standing. Open Areas are the best to be in (the pool deck, Arcadia Theater, Studio B, Promenade) because you can't feel the boat move as much. Anytime I felt slightly sea sick I would go to one of those places and feel better. Read more
