Technically, the first part of this post happened on the night of Day 2 but whatever. Although I didn’t mention it before, we heard about the cruise through our volunteer work with the Relay For Life. As we discovered, this cruise was organized by a Relay family team from Oregon who run a travel agency. They felt this cruise would be a fantastic way for them to earn some serious donations as well as offer a fantastic vacation for us hard-working volunteers and, more importantly, survivors.
During the pre-cruise party, we met some of the other Relayers joining us on the cruise, received our itinerary and had some snacks. Sherri (in the blue Relay shirt) was our fearless leader and organizer of this event.
The next morning was the big day as we were welcomed aboard the Sapphire Princess :)
We couldn’t help ourselves LOL!
After a quick look around, we headed to our staterooms to dump our luggage…
…then met up with our group for the safety meeting.
Safety first :)
Thus began Elizabeth’s love affair with every pool on the ship and our grand tour of all things edible. But fear not, we all lost weight on the cruise due to the insane amount of walking (and swimming)!
**Please note the brilliant color of her swimsuit above. This will be important in six more posts.
After the safety meeting and pointed towards San Francisco, the pool party kicked off. Lots of line dancing, drinks and people watching after which we took a little tour of the dining room as well as a few other places before calling it a night.
San Francisco, here we come!
