Captain's Log Day 1

Arrives in Seattle around noon and we were immediately transferred to the ship. Our ships name is the Norwegian Jewell. It quite huge but they all look huge. Weather is nice. Sun is actually out. Once we boarded the ship we needed to eat some lunch so headed to Garden Cafe. Naturally it was packed but we managed to find a seat. A buffet of various foods. I tried to eat salad but the dressing was too spicy for me. Had some mashed potatoes, bread and cantaloupe. An interesting combination but did the trick. Zeb fared a lot better.

Checked out our cabin after lunch. It is nice and we are very glad we upgraded to a balcony. We order the anniversary package since we are celebrating 20 years together so we had roses in our room, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Not a bad way to kick things off.

Decided to take a self-guided tour of the shop. I'm still lost but may get the hang of it by the end of the trip. We then decided to hang out by the pool since the sun was out. They had a BBQ set up and we were entertained by the dancing and kids swimming in the pool.

We had dinner at Azura. Really enjoyed our meal of salmon, potatoes and green beans. Then we headed to the casino where I managed to both win and lose money- ultimately leaving in the red. Not planning on going back. Zeb did not want the blame for losing money so just watched me.

We were pooped after that and headed back to our room and crashed.

Found this note on my pillow. I married a keeper.
