Glory September 11 2010 - LIVE

[Pee-ah]

Bordering from pier 90 couldnt have been easier, even though our NYC cab missed the turn and we had to double back to the pier. He did turn off the meter..so kudos to him!. Got to the pier at 11 and we were on bord by 12. Meet up with friends (memebers of our roll call) that we had meet earlier in the week (that were in nyc early to explore as were. After ordering our first drinkof the day, we made a beeline to the Fish and chips stand (so GOOD). Then it was the muster drill (without life jackets)

For sail away we climbed the stairs to the top deck for our meet and greet with the roll call! So amazing that somany people showed up after getting to know each other over months on CC. (for those that haven’t joined your roll calls i can’t suggest more strongly that you do!)

After roll call many went to dinner as they had early seaating while ours was late. So after showering and changing (our baggage arrived without any issues) we went to tour the shops and the casino (won $20 and lost it... but as my intial investment was only $5 .. it was entertainment. The we headed to our table. It turned out that they needed the larger tablefor a group that went from 6 peopleto 10. The matrie d was very aplogetic and asked if we minded being moved to a “nice” table. It was then that i suggested by the window? Our seat was one away from the window. Considering that it was dark outside it didnt matter but it wasnice to see even the night.

After dinner we went wondering into the karoke lounge... and left quickly! We ended in the piano bar. The songs were a little sad at first and morse.We asked for some up beat tunes (and tipped well) and songs became a bit happier and the place started to fill up. We both sang along.When it came to New York, New York i belted it. I guess i was okay. (but do wonder if im up fora repeat performance. At about 12 we hit the hay. It had been a long day!

We have a 4J cabin so its a the very fron of the ship. Its an inside with the obstructed view. (If im sitting onthe bed all i can see is the sky, though standing i have no trouble seeing the ocen... will post pictures of it) The ship moves a bit at the front but neither BFF have experienced any issues with the movement. And loved being rocked to sleep!

Awoke in the morning to sunny weather. After breakfast in the main dining room i went and found a calm shelll in the Serneity aea and watched the world go by, while BFF went to the gym. We meet at the cabin and then went to have lunch in the MDR. Great lunch as we meet a new group of people who like us are Carnival cheer leaders. After lunch we went to the Art auction. As my walls are running out of space and my shopping budget had been spent in NYC at Macy’s.. i showed restraint.. Okay BFFalso was the voice of reason. That night at dinner was the first formal night... YUM lobster. Went we got the main dinningroom we found that our table had again been changed... we were right beside the window... Karma is wonderful thing! After dinner we saw two comedy acts... both adult and enjoyed both. After those it was back to the piano bar. Just after midnight we left as we had an early morning as we hadbooked a trip on a Tall Ship in Halifax.

 

So that brings me to today! I sit typing this while on the Lido deck in the sunshine. The TallShip Silva was great and was able to learn a great deal about the city. After the sail we walked around Halifax then came back to the boat for a late lunch.... today is the past guest reception (and as it is my first looking forward to it!

 

Well review to be continued.
