Day 1: (I came with my family and family friends)..woke up early, & we left the house at 11 a.m and drove to Cape Liberty. ( I already live in NJ, this was great cause the drive was only about a half hour/ 45 minutes. There was a bit confusion. The GPS/ maps didn't mention a certain street which should be fixed. but Embarkation was really fast. The lines sped up quickly, they checked our passports..it didn't take too long and I like that theres a table with ice tea, and lemonade and snacks for people, and little tables to sit. We soon boarded, and It was kinda different from the Carnival ship I went on. It wasn't as impressive. The Royal Promenade wasn't that fascinating. The Carnival Victory ship had glowing green lights and exciting music playing all the time & it was a fun environment.

It was crowded at the WindJammer. There was a lot to eat,but my mom's a diabetic, there should be a healthier eating arrangement of foods. the sandwiches were a bit skimpy and tiny. but overall, i thought the food was pretty good. lots of options. I shared a room with my 2 sisters.. we had more than enough space for clothe, bathroom was tiny compared to Carnivals. I mean on the carnival ship.. you had a seating area near the bathroom, the shower is tiny to even move in, but oh well! We got our luggage fast, i know other people didn't get it until 9 at night :O anyways, we soon sailed off which was exciting to take pictures of the statue of liberty & the verazano bridge.

I changed later on, and the Welcoming Show was exciting. the dancers and singers are so entertaining.. im jealous of their glittery outfits! Adam Ace was a pretty funny comedian too. Our dinner is at 8:30, which I loved because it gives you enough time to relax, sit on the deck, change and take your time to shower. I was very impressed with our waiters, don't exactly know his name.. I think it was Samiskumar, hes from India and Elias. They were GREAT. There was good food that night, hot & sour shrimp & a quesadilla & dessert. The Casino, i checked out.. the floor when you enter is BEAUTIFUL, all the colors are so fun. I saw some wear & tear on the ship.. stains, rust, carpet rip, but not a big deal at all. I went to the teen optix club, which I really didn't like. I met some nice people, but it wasn't my thing at all. Read more
