2 ~ Arrive on Cruise Ship ~ March 3/27/23

Billy checked out the cruise beforehand to make sure we had everything before we boarded. Unfortunately, even though they said we didn't need a Covid test since we were vaccinated, they made everyone pay $85 to $120 to have the test 😏! Anyhooo, at least we knew that no one on the ship was contagious!
Our ship was HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! We wandered around a bit and explored! We got to our cabin and unpacked. 
We were pretty acclimated since we stayed in Abu Dhabi. We went to the dining room and had a delicious meal then back to our room and settled in for the night! 

We had a balcony and every day we would go out and just watch the rolling waves ~ gorgeous.  For some reason I woke up the next day not feeling well. I rested most of the day and Billy just did some more exploring.
There was a pizza/burger joint that was opened 24/7 so for lunch we would usually go there! Then about a block away at the other end of the ship was a Sweet Temptation shop that I visited frequently 😜!
Each and every night there were two shows; one at one end of the boat and the other at the other end of the boat.  You had to make a reservation for both of the shows for whatever shows you wanted to see! These shows were phenomenal.  They were shows that you might see on Broadway, or at least off-broadway! We went to one each night and many nights we would hit both of them!
This was the humorous slide ~ we haven't gone on it yet, but maybe later!
