Today is the day! We are boarding the Norwegian Gem in just a few hours! Oh man! We gotta go! We got up out of bed to get ready and pack our bags! After checking out, the bell man helped us down stairs with our bags and the greeter helped us hail a cab down to the cruise terminal.
After a very short ride, we had arrived at our cruise! The porters were right there and ready to help with our luggage! Walking into the cruise terminal was a little confusing. We are used to Royal Caribbean having big signs saying where to go, but for us we just kinda followed the crowd. We went to one booth to check in our bottle of champagne that Delta gave us, and we were put in the fast track line through security and to the correct booth to check our bottle and pay for the corkage fee. Then we were directed to the Haven Check-In area because we are Haven Suite guests. We filled out the health form, got our passports scanned, and received our room keys from our concierge, Armando!
We were told our room wasn’t ready yet but were guided up with another couple to Cagney’s (a restaurant on the ship) to have some lunch with our new friends, Chris and Brady! After lunch we checked out our room… one word… AMAZING! After the muster drill, we were able to unpack our bags and settle in. While unpacking we met our BUTLER, Vergil! We went to explore the ship a little bit and then we enjoyed some sushi and a little more exploring.
Back in the room we watched a movie and dozed off with some rocky seas ahead! Good night!
