After some confusion, plus having to go back to customs twice for some paperwork red tape bureaucracy, I am on board. I met several others that were having the same problem. Apparently the US Customs guys were being extra picky. No worries, they’re just doing their job. A quick meeting with the events manager and I am off to eat. Food! That is what cruise ships are all about. I toured the ship and tried to orient myself feeling like a mouse in a maze looking for cheese. These things are not little boats. It is a very elegant ship.
Its late, I sit here in my stateroom rolling back and forth. The seas are not overly rough but my stateroom is on the second highest deck so the swaying is multiplied. It seems relaxing as the MS Volendam makes her way south. The only thing unnerving is the movie I rented from the ship’s library- Poseidon.
That’s right, my first cruise and I’m watching a ship disaster film!! Why? Because I can. The effects are cool. Not so much on the movie but looking out a 9 story window at frothing water breaking as the ship plows through the waves…cool!
I am off to sleep. More pics to follow.
