San Juan -today!
Hi Everyone
First I wish to thank you all for visiting my blog. Secondly I apologize for the lack of postings. I am using the WIFI in our cabin and seem to be having many technical issues. I will continue to try to upload photo's and share information about this great vacation.
Bermuda:
We explored the Royal Navy Shipyard/Dockyard when we arrived and did some shopping. The views are gorgeous in Bermuda and the waters a very turquoise blue. We took a guided boat tour to get to BAMZ (Bermuda Aquarium Museum & Zoo). Bermuda is amazing and somewhere I would like to spend more time at as we only got to see a tiny bit of it.
Formal Night:
You can see the photo's below Adam looked very handsome all dressed up in his tie. We also had professional photo's done that night by the onboard photographers and they were even able to get some shots of Adam with his eyes open (he usually closes them or covers his eyes as soon as he sees the camera.
The food continues to be amazing and in great abundance. The other night they had a full German Buffet in the late evening complete with all those foods I remember from my childhood (red cabbage, herring salad, wieners, schnitzel, apple strudel) I did not try any of course because I am vegetarian but it did look yummy.
The funny thing is with all of the wonderful restaurants, pool areas, activities and entertainment on the ship my favorite thing to do is look out at the ocean from my balcony - especially at night and seeing the waves splashing off the ship. I could literally do this for hours.
I can see San Juan now from my balcony so I better go get ready. I will be back on later to tell you all about it and some of the stuff we have done onboard so far.
Have a great day!

Technical problems with Blog
It is not letting me add photo's today. Stay tuned I will try again later.
Out to sea
We are officially out to sea and heading to Bermuda. It was a smooth embarkation process and everything is perfect.
Wow - our room is soooo much bigger than I expected. The bed is almost a king size and another bunk pulls down over part of it so it sleep the 3 of us quite comfortably. We have a great sitting area, lots of closet space and an ample balcony that was perfect for breakfast this morning. The shower looks small but Jeff (6'6") used it just fine. We are getting great treatment on the ship: we have met Captain Marco Fortezze (Adam gave him a high five) and received champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries in our stateroom. The crew so far all seem to love Adam and even shout "Hello Adam" when they see us walking in the halls.
The food is fantastic and there is plenty of it. I will be sure to add photo's of some of our meals and desserts throughout the trip. Everywhere we turn there seems to be neat activities but also many places to kick back and relax. We are at sea today so we will be exploring the ship and making use of the on board amenities. Yesterday was busy with unpacking, lunch, the life boat drill, dinner and then bedtime and we have not left the room yet today so there is not too much to tell you so far.
Am I sea sick?....................... Not too much. I felt sick for about 30 minutes last night when we were getting ready for bed but had a ginger candy and that seemed to help in addition to the homeopathic remedy I am taking. Around 5am the ship started moving quite a bit and we have not been back to sleep since (hmmm I think we will need a nap today) but I don't feel sick at all - fingers crossed no more nausea.
Adam loves the motion and thinks it is funny when he is wobbling around. He seems to love everything about being at sea - Mr. Merman.

Last post on land
We had a great drive from home to New Jersey (no traffic jams, the border crossing was smooth and Adam behaved the entire time). We stopped at Fuddrucker's for lunch where we met Grandma and Gramps.
The drive was picturesque with lush green hills, forests, lakes and ending with the New York skyline.
Supper was in our hotel room and very yummy and fresh. My new favorite 'Mexican' food from Baja Fresh. I had the tostada salad and it could easily feed two.
Cruise Good News of the day : As of June 1st Princess will no longer be charging a fee for ice cream on board - hooray!
Fingers crossed that oil prices do not rise any higher. As of yesterday they were at $68.58 per barrel and if they reach $70 we have to pay a fuel supplement charge for our cruise.
