On first day on the Equinox was a great day.
We left the hotel at about 9:00am and drove to the airport
to return the rental car. They had a
free shuttle to the cruise port so we took it and made great time getting to
the ship around 10:30am.
Then we encountered the longest lines we have seen at
check-in in a lot time; however, by 11:00am we were in our cabin so the check in was still fairly quick.
After unpacking our carry-ones we went up to the food deck to
eat and wait for Barb & Tim to arrive and they did at about 1:00pm with
their friends, John and Neuanne, also from the Washington area.
We sat and talked until 2:30pm when it was time to go to the
lifeboat drill.
Tim and Barb invited us all to go to the specialty
restaurant, Tuscan Grill and we did and have a great meal in celebration of Tim’s
new job.
After that we went to the show, which was a comedian, who
was just ok.
Then it was on to the casino where Barb won and Ed broke
even.
All-in-all a nice day.
Tomorrow is a sea day which is a perfect way to start a
cruise.
Night from somewhere south of Miami.
