Countdown to the Cruise

75 days till our cruise! After this post, I'll post the countdown when it gets to 60, 30, 7 and 1 days until the cruise. This is also the first in a few posts for today because it's a special day - my birthday! More to come...

Vision of the Seas - Maiden Arrival

Vision of the Seas made its first call into the Port of Portland today. Just 3 months from now and we'll be on this ship all the way down in Texas! She arrived at 7am and disembarked at 6pm. While we waited for our lunch we stopped by Buglight Park to watch the boats go by and get a first-hand look at our future ship. The excitement grows as each day passes by, only 89 days!!

Zoomed in shot from the view magnifier at the park. Comes in handy close-ups ups.

Royal Caribbean Signature Visa Card

Was in the drive-thru at work taking orders/cash at work today when a customer handed me their card and it was a Royal Caribbean Signature Visa Credit Card. Over the years I've seen a variety of cards but not until the past month have I seen these cards!

I applied for one before the first cruise and another time this past recently but was declined. Bummer!

Sunday Pick-me-up

Happy Sunday!

"Life is like making tea! Boil your ego, Evaporate your worries, Dilute your sorrows, Filter your mistakes and get taste of happiness..."

I remember the first day at sea which was the first full true day of the cruise was when we really felt the motion and rocking of the ship. We went to guest services and picked up some dramamine. I chose the seats with a front row view of the bow and horizon line. Trying to balance plates with the rocking was a struggle 9 nights later I mastered it, haha! We didn't stay long that breakfast because Justin was too queasy and couldn't eat. 

They had really good breakfast options!
