Boarding Realities
Unfortunately, your fantasies of a happy welcome must come to an end. Instead of receiving a personal greeting, you and your family must enter an airport-style terminal with lengthy, gloomy lines. You wait here with your shipmates, many of whom are unsmiling and want to bypass this phase. You are then directed to the generic office counter, where you must provide your documents for safe documentation to the fake-friendly cruise line employee. Finally, you’ve been accepted, allowing you and your family to proceed up the sloped pier slope, right into the ship’s belly.

Poolside Anticipations
A pool that’s neither too huge nor too small. Not too hot, nor too cold. You prefer a pool with a swim-up bar, but you are not choosy. One that provides a good view of the ocean or port at the next destination. Oh, and a pool that lights up at night and moves to the beat of the music. This would be fantastic.
