Sea Day

We left Sherrie’s house at 9:30amish and headed towards Galveston.

And wouldn’t you know it, my iPhone stopped working. None of the icons would respond to my touch. I even tried to turn my phone off. I tried to reboot. Even called Apple support. No luck. What an unfortunate time for my phone to “crash”. So I don’t have very many fotos of the first day.

I got up early to watch the sunrise and read. We ate at different times. We did sit all in the observation lounge and played “chronology”.

We call an “Uber” and guest services brings an employee to personally escort granddaddy from point A to point B. Great! I love it! You have to think in advance to determine when you will need the “Uber” and you need a little patience in waiting for the people to arrive. In very very short distances, granddaddy will use his walker with me.

We have made some fun NCL connections The current cruise director is Alvin, (cruise director NCL Spirit 2020) and Marguerite NCL SKY 2024/25. And an employee with Shore excursions NCL SKY 2025 is now employed on the Prima.

First sea day was busy with navigating around a new ship. Glenn and I only attended the Latitude reception at 1pm. 1 ambassador, 7 diamonds, just a few hundreds of the rest of the people.

GrandDaddy got invited to a Captains VIP reception at 6pm. We ordered an Uber. Got to the observation lounge early and we able to get dad in a good seating position. This is where we met the captain and the cruise director.

Dad’s light supper was from the Captains reception. Glenn and I ran into Sherrie, Steve and Karen at Indulge for dinner. We played some card games before we walked to the theatre for “The Price is Right”! This was very creative and fun to watch. We were participants in the audience. No pictures allowed.

Afterwards Sherrie and I worked on the correct shore excursions they were going to take on Sunday.Read more
