Our Cruise of the Western Caribbean

Our children decided to give Sid and Me a cruise for our 50th anniversary, that was in Dec, and we waited until now to take them up on it.
April 6th, Saturday, we drove up to Tina's and spent the night.  Lincoln and Tina took us to the airport the next morning and we flew to Tampa where we boarded the Norwegian Dawn.

 Picture was taken as we boarded.

While we were waiting for our room we went up to the buffet and ate lunch.  Then at 2:00 pm we were able to go to our room.  The kids gave us a balcony which was really nice.

 A big bed
nice shower



 I thought it would be smaller but it was really spacious.  There was even chocolate covered strawberries, that we ate before I thought of pictures. Also a Italian Dinner for two at the La Cucina.




 Forgot to get pictures of the main dish, but it was delicious


 About 8 waiters came to our table with this dessert, made Sid and me hold hands while they sang I Love you Truly, in harmony, and had Sid sing the last line.  It brought tears to both of our eyes.  Thank you kids!!!!






First Sunset from a cruise ship.  It was beautiful.

The second day we spent at sea.
We were up early and walked around Deck 13. Boy was there a wind blowing.  Had to hold on to the hand rails at all times.

Breakfast buffet.  To much food to chose from.
