Getting there is half the fun

Hey,
How are things?  I have no idea even what day or much less what time it is currently. I'm still on the boat and every day the time changes as we get closer to Spain. So Good Morning/Good Evening/ Merry Christmas, WTF??

*WARNING PICTURE HEAVY POST*

Anyway, we left the hotel in Fort Lauderdale at noon on Monday. We took a taxi from the hotel to Best Buy to purchase another convertor. I cannot believe I forgot all 3 of mine! The store was right across the bridge, (from our awesome hotel), but not something I wanted to walk. So I just waited  till we were leaving and as it turns out this Best Buy was a only a small mobile store (cells only) so we left there and tried the Office Depot, also located in same shopping center. I purchased one convertor and off we went to the cruise terminal. #Success!

Inching our way to the ship.

Closer..

We boarded around 12:30 and the wait wasn’t bad for our deck, maybe only 10 minutes in the security line and then 5 to check in. The Carnival in Texas was the longest wait to board I have ever encountered, it seemed like we stood for DAYS to actually board the ship. We waited in a slow moving security line; we waited and waited to check in and then stood in line to get on the bloody boat! Although now that I think about it, I believe they said the ship was late in returning and that was why.. I actually don't remember;  that seems like it was several hundred years ago. But I always think about it when its time to board a ship....

I asked Aud about her recent cruise from Texas via Carnival and she said they waited over 2 hours to board! OMG! Her brother and his wife are like "platinum/diamond King" members (I think they sail about once a month, I’m not exaggerating) and they have a special lounge to wait in, not with the commoners, lol. She had to wait standing in line! OMG!

Anyway, enough about that OTHER cruise line...
I was feeling rather refreshed at not having to wait forever and a day in any line, so  I decided to try for an UPGRADE. We then stood in line approx an hour to try for said upgrade. (Which we were able to get!) #Score!

Inside the lobby - while getting new key cards.

But then our keys wouldn’t work, because of the change and we stood in line a for another 35 minutes –

But it was all worth it! As it was quickly resolved and we breezed into our upgraded room. Cute, huh?

I don't know why I didn't take a picture of the desk, couch or TV.

But here's the sink...and yes, we have a shower and toilet too.
