We left on Sunday, June 13, 2010 which is the day after our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Our flight left early that morning so we got up and headed to Bountiful where my favorite brother Steen was waiting to take us to the airport. Normally I'm not a morning person but this day I was wide awake and super excited for our new adventure. We arrived in Los Angeles, which was our port, and took a transfer to the pier. The ship was SO HUGE! I couldn't believe this would be our home for the next 7 days. When they let us on board we went and checked out the ship and had some lunch in the Windjammer Cafe. When we got to our room it was all decorated with Anniversary decorations. Kevin had arranged for them to decorate in advance and it was such a fun surprise. That night we got ready and went to a Murder Myster Dinner. It was EXTREMELY campy but a ton of fun.
The next day we were at sea and had plenty to do. We went to a "Cha Cha" class, visited Johnny Rockets (they waiters dance to the music and the food is AMAZING), lounged in the sun, saw an ice skating show, met Captain Per (said like the fruit...Pear), and Kevin sang Karaoke. Throughout the rest of the cruise people would come up to us and ask if Kevin was the one singing. He was a HIT! Around 1 pm we finally dropped into our beds and prepared for our next day of adventure...
