Cabin Fever

 Boarding and settling in on December 10th.  Boarding process was very smooth - all of our luggage was in our cabin when we arrived.  A bit overwhelmed when we saw all that luggage (13 total bags plus carry-ons) and wondered where in the world was it all going to go (300 square feet) in our cabin.  Very thankful that we were able to upgrade to the larger cabin - gives Mickey a better chance of surviving.  Two and a half days later, the cabin is unpacked, bags stowed under the bag (duffle bags saved us!) with room to spare - I know, I can't believe it either.  Just so you know, Mickey brought more clothes than I did....so here are a few pictures of our cabin - before and after, and the lovely ship we will be calling home until September 2024.  And yes, there is a little bit of Christmas in the room.

We made it work.... the extra room is well worth it and so glad we were able to upgrade.....

 

This is our beautiful ship.  Royal Caribbean lived up to their promises and the ship is in great shape, new beds, new pillows, new refrigerators, additional electrical outlets, recovered the furniture in the cabins.... and the common areas have also been revived and spiffed....

A few more pics of the ship - Pamela Hathaway, a fellow passenger is doing the art of different venues around the ship.  She is very talented. You will see more as we continue our journey. The balloon drop was on our first night on the ship - lots of celebrating going on.
