Day 6 - Welcome aboard!

CHRISTY:
Today we basically waited around the hotel until 1:00 and then we literally rolled our suitcases down about 2 blocks to board the ship.  The line to board was moving fairly quickly until we were told to get out of line if we didn't get our New Zealand visa.  The line for that moved slowly.  Once it was done and we paid our dues we were able to board.  We got to our room and Scott had surprised me with a junior suite! I've never stayed in a room this big, it was pretty cool having more room than usual.  I am  never gonna want anything smaller after this! It even has a bathtub, how crazy! 
We did our muster duties and started to explore the ship.  We stopped by the bar to get some drinks and Scott told me we had the drink package too.  This guy is full of surprises this trip! I had a tasty espresso martini and found out my limit is 15 alcohol drinks per day! Challenge accepted! My liver is gonna be screaming this trip 😀!  We walked around to check out where everything is and tried to get somewhat familiar with the ship.  This ship is huge!
We went to dinner and had a delicious meal in the main dining hall and then made a small deposit in the casino now it's off to bed.
SCOTT:
My bad on the New Zealand visa.. I got ones for Australia and never thought about getting one for NZ because it's only a cruise port. I've never needed a visa for a cruise stop in a different country. Oh well, lesson learned. Then they confiscated my extension cord for some reason. But we DID finally get on the ship.

There is good food everywhere. Highlight was my bananas foster for dessert.
So one more thing. The fonts, pictures,  or spacing may look off while we're on the ship because we're doing this from my phone and have  no idea how it looks before we post it.

Tomorrow is a day at sea.

Our Egyptian Adventure - Day 1

Day One of the Journey! Christy : We decided to go a day early to Egypt since it was such a long flight (16 hours) and I'm so glad we did.  But first, the journey started in Los Angeles.  We stayed overnight in LA so that if by some weird off chance our flight was delayed we would have plenty of time to get to Egypt.  We called a cab to come pick us up and take us to the airport.  The airport was only maybe 15 minutes away from the hotel so it wasn't a far cab ride.  Well unfortunately is was a long 15 minutes!  I feel like our cab driver had only just learned how to drive.  It was the worst cab ride I have ever taken in my life.  I couldn't tell if the transmission was bad or he had it in the wrong gear.  After it was over I had whiplash and motion sickness from all the jerking back and forth and abrupt breaking!  It was awful.   Anywho, the plane ride wasn't too bad although I didn't get much sleep because the seats were hard...
