Crown Princess, June 17, 2007 through June 26, 2007
Pre-cruise: Saturday, June 16, 2007. We flew into NYC (and boy were our arms tired . . . ahhhhh, bad joke, sorry) on a direct flight into LGA. Our luggage was first off the plane and we were waiting for my dad within minutes. Spent the day on Long Island with my family and getting antsy for Sunday.
Embarkation: Sunday, June 17, 2007. We arrived at the pier at 11:40 am. We loaded our luggage on the concrete, a porter then loaded it on to the cart and we proceeded to the front door. Once inside my heart started to pound, we were here - finally. After counting down from 429 days we had finally made it to "the day." We quickly filled out our papers saying we had not been sick in the previous 24 hours and proceeded to the "line." There were no lines . . . we moved through and up to the desk, handed the check-in gal our passports and boarding passes, she activated our room keys and done! Walked right on to the ship, got our picture and went straight to our room - it was Noon! After spending the next few hours meandering and meeting some of our CLF friends prior to the official meet at 3 pm, we finally ate something in the Horizon Court. At 3 pm we met with our new friends at the Tradewinds Bar. What a great group of people!!! We hung out and talked for roughly 45 minutes and then we disbanded so we could be ready for the muster drill. Night number one at Club Fusion - it's just the beginning.
