Off to the cruise ship

We left about 9:30 for the 3 hour trip to the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas.  It was a cold and rainy day, not a perfect cruise day.  We made a wrong turn that took us off the Turnpike but the GPS got us back on our path.  We pulled into Park N Cruise where they parked our car while we went to board the mini bus to take us to the ship.  We were informed that there was a big backup on the highway and their busses were running slow, but it didn't take long for a bus to come.

When we got to the ship, there was a Long Long line, maybe two blocks long.  Because of the highway back-up everyone had arrived at once.  We stood in line a bit when a ship's employee picked us out (because of my cane, I guess) and led us to the front of the line!

From there we went thru customs (strange) and then airport like security.  From there it was upstairs to another line to sign in and get our passes.  Then up a triple ramp to the ship.  Elevators were busy but we finally got to our cabin.

The cabin was nice, we unpacked our carry-on and went to look for a late lunch at the buffet.  We had salads and a slice of the BEST prime rib.  Then it was time for the safety drill.  When we got back to our cabin our luggage had arrived.  We unpacked and went for dinner.

For dinner I had more prime rob, onion soup, waldorf salad and fruit for dessert.  Afterwards we went to the musical CATS.  By the time we got back to our cabin we were beyond tired.
