We are a group of 25 who all have the common link of rescuing Boxers in the DFW area. We all have full time jobs on top of our volunteering, so we were all long overdue for a little R&R. We range in age from low 20s to upper 50s with both men and women in our group. Though I won't apologize, I'm pretty sure we were "that group" if you know what I mean.
My husband (25) and I (24) left my dad's house in Houston at 10:30 Saturday morning and parked at EZ Cruise, booking online to save $5. We were on the Lido enjoying lunch by 12:30. We found our room (U57) and enjoyed looking out our window. Muster was nice in that we did NOT have to bring our lifejackets with us. Our group met in the Blue Sapphire lounge and watched the lifejacket demo (just like they do on planes) and then they made us all march up to where our lifeboats are. It was pretty painless for the most part. We did actually make it back up to the Lido in time for sail away, but I think it was a delay and not that they were waiting for us to get back up there. My guess is that we sailed closer to 5pm. For some reason neither of us felt that great so we left dinner and called it an early night.
Day at Sea - We made our way to the Lido for a little food and ran into some of our group going to do the slots tournament. Several of them made it to the finals but no one in our group won. We hung around in the casino a little more and also spent some time enjoying the fresh air. We all went back to our rooms early to get ready for formal night. I tried lobster for the first time though I can't say I enjoyed it. It was very salty to me. Luckily I had also ordered the prime rib, which was marvelous. Hubby had no qualms finishing off my lobster. We had 3 tables for 10 in the Wind Song dining room, and ours was #325 with Antonio and Rita. They were friendly but unexciting. I don't think they were sad to see us go, though our three tables were kind of rowdy so maybe I don't blame them. Rita spoke to me on the very last night and I wish she would have opened up sooner because she seemed nice.
Nice window. Connecting room - can hear neighbor noise better than if it were a solid wall.
