At this point, Patti returned to our cabin to unpack our luggage which had arrived. After spending some time at the Red Frog Rum Bar and the Serenity Bar, I returned to the cabin around 3:15pm to get ready for the muster drill.

At around 3:50pm the alarm was sounded, and we reported to muster station “B” two decks down on Deck 3. The drill was over fairly quickly, and afterwards Captain Nicolini announced that because they were still loading provisions and waiting for crew, we would be sailing at 7:30pm. The Norwegian Jade however, was sailing on time…..

We made our way up to the Red Frog Rum Bar for an informal meet and greet. From there we could see that even though we are not sailing away, the sail away party has started.....

Our Cruise Director Steve leads the way…..

We went back to the cabin to get ready for dinner. We did sail away at 7:30, so we watched from our balcony. There are no pictures since there really was nothing to see in the dark.

We had Late Seating, and as I mentioned earlier we were seated in a booth on the lower level…..

Monday, February 27th - Sea Day # 1

Here are today’s Fun Times…..

We were up at 7am. The skies were partly cloudy, and the seas were fairly calm. Our balcony was soaking wet, so apparently it had rained overnight. Here is our view looking forward…….

Here are a few pictures of today’s sunrise. Didn’t think we were going to get any of these pictures today……

We decided to eat breakfast up on the Lido today. I grabbed a breakfast burrito from the Blue Iguana Cantina, and Patti opted to have a cheese and tomato omelet.
At 11am we went to the casino to participate in the first CC Roll Call slot pull. There was a huge turnout of probably over 50 people……

To keep things moving along it was decided to use two machines. The cost to play was $15/pp which gave you 5 spins, which you did in your only turn…..
