The first 2 days of our cruise

Sunday the 16Th the hotel shuttled us to Miami port. We went through all the paper work stuff got are room keys and off we went. They don't let you go straight to your room, so we went to eat lunch. Then we walked around the ship. After awhile we were able to go to our room. My bags were there but Randy's wasn't they said they would be there before 7:00 and they came sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 so Randy couldn't change out of his shorts before dinner. We check things out and then it was almost time to leave the port. I wanted to go up top to watch us leave the beautiful city of Miami. We had made a reservations for the french restaurant La Cucina. We have never eat french so I really wanted to try it. (for those of you who want to see what kid of things we eat check out the pictures). The food was great. Randy started with Onion soup which was really good and I had Asparagus I loved it then Randy had swordfish which neither of us had tried before, and I didn't like Randy thought it was OK. I had Duck and whatever the call goose liver. I loved the duck hated the liver. For dessert I had some kind of crepes and Randy something else.(sorry I can't remember what it was called. The dessert was the best part of the meal. Then we went to the show which was good. It was a Little of all the acts we saw that week. Durning the show they introduced a couple that was on the honeymoon.(they will come into play a few days later.) Sometime this night we had bought the picture they take before we left and Randy sat it down, and we didn't remember until the next day, we looked for it for a couple of days. Someone had found it and turned it in but picture wasn't in the photo book. Saturday they reprinted it for us. We were hungry again so we ate a little more then went to bed.

Monday was the only morning we really got to sleep in. Since we were at sea all day. So we took full advantage. Then we ate breakfast and then went to play Bingo. I WON!! 246 dollars. Don't really remember what else we did during the day but that night we ate at the Mexican restaurant Mambo's The best part was the dessert which was a Mango and Pineapple compote. we went to the show which was good, can't remember what it was. Because we ate dinner so early I was always hungry before bed so we ate at the Great outdoors every night before bed. That night we went to bed early since we had to be up early. Plus I had some kind of junk in my head. A sinuses cold or something.

Stay tuned for the fun part of the cruise coming up. Sorry i just don't have the patience to sit and type it all out at one time plus it would be a huge entry.
