Splendor 9/22/13 - Better (way) late than never

[Malamel]

I meant to write this alot sooner, but if there's one thing I'm good at, it's procrastinating. As a result, I may forget some things, but I'll try to answer any questions as well as I can. Here we go.

 

I live in PA, right outside of Scranton. There was a large group of us leaving from the same area, so our agent charted a bus for us. We had a quick McD's stop for breakfast on our way. We're only a few hours from NYC, so it's convenient to sail from there. We were on the 9 day Eastern Caribbean with stops in San Juan, St. Thomas, and Grand Turk.

 

Embarkation - We arrived around 10:30, had a little bit of a wait, but the lines went smoothly, and within an hour of getting there we were on the ship. We hung out in the Lobby for a bit before heading up the Buffet for lunch. I had a really yummy Italian something chicken, potatoes, and ice cream for dessert. I was thinking of purchasing the Soda package, but I'm glad I didn't, the most I had was 2 a day, usually only 1, so it wouldn't have been worth it for me. Around 1:00 our rooms were ready, so we went to stash our carry ons so we could explore a bit. I was in an Inside cabin with 2 other girls, nowhere near as cramped as I thought it would be, and we were hardly in the rooms, so it worked for us.

 

The layout of this ship was a bit confusing and took me a few days to get used to.
