Day 2 – Honolulu, Oahu
Location: Honolulu, Oahu
Weather: Beautiful
Today we woke up, found a cheap place for breakfast and got checked out to head
to the ship! With our package deal including transportation we just left our bags
in the room, and they were automatically taken to the ship for screening. We had
a bottle of rum which was a “no-no.” After waiting for a while, the bus came to
take us to the port.
When we boarded the ship there were some people with their baggage waiting outside
their cabins, we had no such luck! We immediately started walking around the ship,
trying to see what it had to offer, and where things were located. We found some fun
things like giant chess/checkers, and a few of the bars, pool, etc.
We ended up getting a call about 7 PM that told us our bag had something that
looked suspicous in our baggage and went to “secondary screening.” We had to
go down and claim the bottle of rum. We had to leave it with the ship, or pay
a $15 corkage fee. It was a $13 bottle of rum… I DON’T THINK SO!
We then had our mandatory drill and meeting at the muster station before we were
allowed to leave port. They say you’re not supposed to take pictures, but I was able
to sneak in a couple!
After the meeting, we hit the high seas, and went to bed!
