Embarkation - This went very smoothly. We had a friend drop us off at the pier and our bags were immediately loaded and taken to the ship. The ship was late getting in to port so we didn't board until about 1:15 p.m. We had our picture taken and had a hotdog. Check in was very quick.

The ship and our first evening - Amazing and very clean. We were handed a glass of champagne when we got on board. We made the mistake of going to the buffet for lunch after reading here that the Grand Pacific was open and usually alot less crowded. We got a nice plate of food but there was no place to sit. We ate outside in the Great Outdoors, it was a bit chilly. We headed to our room which was awesome. Very clean, pretty and lots of room. The balcony was were we spent alot of time in the good weather. We ordered the bar set up and it was in the room when we got there. We unpacked and got settled in. We took pictures as we left NY and ordered room service for dinner. The food came very quickly. the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in.

Sailing, internet, football and the pool area - We had a day at sea, it was a bit chilly but we enjoyed it. Did some exploring. Bought the internet package and I have to say that the speed was ALOT better than we had anticipated after reading the boards. We were jonesing for some football as we are diehard Jets and Giants fans. We found that ESPN International broadcasts the 1:00 p.m. and 4:15 p.m games on CBS and then FOX. We hadn't expected that so it was a nice surprise. Unfortunately they showed the games we were not looking to watch but they had American football on! The pool area is great, we really loved the hot tubs. The water in the main pool was heated. The pina coladas and daiquiris are great!
