Saturday August 2 we Boarded the Ship




We were the first people on the ship as I needed to get on and meet with the group services coordinator. This gave us a good chance to check out the boat w/out people on there. The negative of being 1st on the boat, last to get your luggage! Once we did get our luggage we went around and handed out this year’s trip gift bags. Then we had dinner w/ my parents in the Lazy J Steakhouse. Service sucked and the food was only mediocre. That would be the trend this whole time. On Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) the tips are prepaid so the service is not like on all other cruise lines w/ people bending over backward to entertain and help you. Cleanliness and taste of food also lack. That’s the only negative stuff we’ll say about the cruise line. Mike was like a confused new puppy in the all you can eat buffet for lunch on the 1st day. He was literally just wandering around amazed. Oh, Mike also experienced his 1st safety drill. To experienced cruisers this is an annoying time waster on the 1st day. But to him it was fun…just another reason I love him, he can have fun in any situation. So, after dinner we just went to bed. Everyone was tired and so were we after that large meal.
