This is the 2nd "Girl's getaway cruise" for me, my sister, and my good friend. This was my 5th cruise, my sister's 3rd, and my friend's first.

We left home @ 7:30 am from SW Louisiana, made a few stops, and arrived at EZ Cruise around 12:00 (my sister made on-line reservations, $50)We got to the port at 12:30, and began the line for imbarkation. It went pretty fast. I put only cash on my Sail and Sign card, no problems there. There were actually about 5 cashiers just to take money. We went to our rooms first, and were able to drop off our stuff and have lunch on the Lido deck at around 2:00. After that we went to our room to unpack (an oceanview w/ 2 single beds and a couch bed.) We went to supper in the Monet dining room at 6pm and ate at a booth w/ a woman traveling alone from Texas. She was very enjoyable. Our waiter's name was I Made and he was GREAT! He welcomed us every night and hugged us on our way out. We walked around the ship and got to bed early.

Monday-Woke at around 7am and ate at around 8 in the dining room. We walked the track for 30 min. and walked around the ship, getting to know everything. It is confusing at first, but once you learn the layout it's easy. For lunch we tried SurMer and loved the fish! (ate there more than once) We wanted to lay out but it was still cool and really windy, so we went to our room and took naps so we could stay awake for the late night comedy show! This was the first formal night, food was excellent. The show was @ 10:45, and we got there at about 10:30-standing room only. We managed to sit on some steps, so it wasn't so bad. The comedy show starred Tony Esposito, and he was great! Read more
