2023 Cruise -- Travel and Day 1

On our travel day to Orlando, I asked two different Lyft drivers to stop their cars so we could figure out the seatbelt situation. The flight over was fine but I was kinda disappointed that we were going first class and it seemed more like Economy Plus (especially since we were using miles for mrguy's part of it). Yes, I am spoiled. I slept amazingly well, due to the effects of a glass of wine and salty tomato juice.

At our hotel we were treated to a themed forklift suite that had a gigantic kitchenette, two seating areas, a dining table that seated six and THREE BATHROOMS. Super posh. Every element was subtly themed to reflect the majesty of the forklift. Dang! Super cool.

In the morning we joined the people of the van that goes to the cruise ship. So nice! We got on the ship, tooled around, found lunch (shrimps galore!), checked out our stateroom, and did a runthru and technical sound check for my presentation the following day. 

We slept between activities. Dinner is at 8:15. We have the same service team every day, which is so nice. They are fabulous. Everyone who works on the boat is gracious, outgoing, nice. Without fail. The food is delicious. So far so good.

One of the best parts of the day was pushing off from the port and watching the world go by with mrguy. Me, mrguy, water, birds (lots of pelicans) -- what more could you want?
