Day One on the Carnival Breeze

January 5, 2013

We got on board and were at Deck 3 in the Atrium lounge. We headed right to the bar and signed up for the Cheers program, and Rodd and I got served our first drinks (of, oh, 139 during the eight days... not including sodas).

We then walked up, up, up to Deck 10, for our first meal at Guy's Burger Joint. We'd read excellent reviews, and no joking, these are good burgers.

 Then Ethan and Rodd played a fierce game of ping-pong and we got ready for muster drill. Our spot was the Ovation Theater, so time to go down to deck 4.

Then it was time for the ship to go!  E went for a swim and Rodd and I went to our room and enjoyed the view from our balcony.

After a while, Rodd and I decided to check into Cloud 9 Spa. We had a spa room that gave us access all cruise to 4 thermal suites and a thalassotherapy pool.  We used it a LOT during the cruise!  We then sat in the Spa 9 relaxation lounge. We were the only ones there and, since it was forward on the ship, we watched the Breeze leave Miami. Very peaceful. What a great spot!

We ate dinner in Blush dining room and then went to Sports Square where we were alone, except for one other family. More ping pong!
