Arrived in Florida. We were able to pretty much get right on the ship. We took a self-guided tour of the ship, most of which I never saw again. The ship is sooooo huge. It was decked to the hilt for Christmas! The ship was amazing. We started sailing at about 430pm. So awesome! Our luggage was supposed to be hand delivered to our rooms. Mine arrived pretty quickly, but Josh's never arrived. We kept asking about it and they kept telling us that "it's still on it's way." OR "It's down at the front desk." OR "It must have been delivered to the wrong room and until that guest reports it, we won't know about it." We got a little worried, but what can ya do. So Josh ended up eating his first meal in the dining room in his sweats that night. It wasn't a "formal" night, but usually NICE casual clothing is required. We all got a chuckle out of that, but were still concerned about his LACK of luggage. We were originally assigned to have our dinners in the Botticelli Dining room (pretty ironic, get it, BOTTicelli :) ), but they didn't have us all sitting at the same table and were unable to accommodate us at one table there, so we were moved to another dining room ~~ the Davinci Room. We were kinda bummed about that at first, but turned out to be AMAZING. We had a GREAT waiter who catered to us, made us laugh, brought us "specials" every night and we had a BLAST! After dinner, we went to the "welcome show" which lasted about an hour, which honestly, I don't remember much about. I think I actually slept through a lot of it ~~ not because it was boring, but because I was a little sleep deprived at that point. When we arrived at our room that evening, we had a message from the ships security stating that they had Josh's luggage. It had been confiscated because he decided to pack a pocketknife! HELLO!!!! It was too late to get it that night, so we went to bed.
