Here We Go A Cruising Day 1

On Thursday we headed to Mobile to get on a cruise ship to celebrate our anniversary (coming up in 2 weeks). Neither of us have ever been on a cruise.. so we were a little overwhelmed at the size of this beast as we walked up... I guess this sums it up... matt is just in awe at this boat. (Don't look to closely at the sign on the wall that says NO PHOTOGRAPHY in big bold letters).
The first thing we did was explore the whole ship. Here is matt trying out the track on the top of the boat, which is next to the mini golf.

And then we got down to business and hit up the buffet. Complete with an ice cream cone for dessert.. you may see more of these to come.


When we finally were able to get into our rooms, the first thing I did was assess the life jacket situation. And I needed to make sure it fit.




And then we walked around some more. This is a view from the upper deck. See that slide... we took advantage of that as well.

Here we are finally setting sail to our destination. This is coming out of the port in Mobile. Can't turn back now.
For all of you who told me there were no pirates... look what I saw at dinner. See, I told you so.



Later we tried our luck at the casino. Now, Matt and I have never even set foot into a casino in our lives, but we each put a dollar bill in and both lost, so that was enough of that. Now, I guess I can say I have done that.



What a beautiful sunset over the water. What a great way to end our first day at sea!



We lounged on the back of the boat and watched the sun go down. This is about the time I started to feel the boat begin to rock some. When the boat first took off, I thought.. this isn't bad at all. About an hour after this picture is when I had a major meltdown and told Matt I wanted to get off the boat (sorry no pictures of that).

And why no photography walking onto the ship...I don't understand that!
