The Boat...

We boarded the boat this morning. 


We call it a "boat" even though it's a cruise ship, because "ship" is a dangerous word to teach Baby Z. It's better for her to say boat. I'll let you figure out why. 


We set sail at 5pm tonight and will cruise on the sea until the 16th, when we will arrive in Haiti. 


The boat is amazing. It's way bigger than I thought it would be and the inside is a lot cooler too. 


Here are some photos of the inside of the ship:


This is the center lobby in the middle of the ship. My parents are making us take the stairs everywhere we go, so we won't get to use this elevator too much, but it is super pretty with an awesome view. 

This is the main dining room where we will eat dinner every night. It's two stories. We can also have other meals here if we want, but with so much else to choose from we'll see how much we eat here. 

This is another restaruant on board called the Seaview Cafe. This one is up top right next to the kids pool and they serve a bunch of food that I love, so I hope we eat there as much as possible. 

This is the FUEL club, which is the teen hangout. They have a whole bunch of activities planned that will be here in FUEL, should be fun! It has a dance floor, couches, computers, a DJ booth, a kitchen, a foosball table, and a bunch of other cool stuff. 

This is the Vortex dance club. At home we have dance parties all the time in our living room. This is way cooler...

This is the library... We already checked it out and I borrowed a book that looked cool called "What would MacGyver Do" about survival. Zinadine borrowed a girly kids book too. 

This is just one of the 3 pools on the boat.  The main pool is open with no ceiling, but this one has a glass ceiling so you can still see the sky. The kids pool has two water slides, so I plan to spend a lot of time there. 

This is the sports court on the boat. You can't see it in this photo but there are soccer goals on each end. You know where you can find me... 

This is the Rock Climbing Wall. Sign me up! 

This is the arcade that is attached to the kid's area. They have Guitar Hero and Air-hockey!  

This is part of the 9-hole mini golf course.

This is the kids pool slide. Looks SO fun! 

And this is the main pool. There are a bunch of games planned for the main pool including a belly flop contest. Ryder is the best belly flopper I know. I bet he wins.  

This is the theater on board for the shows. There is another cinema for watching movies. There is a big show planned for every night including a magic show. 

There is more to see of course, but for now, this will have to do!


On to Haiti!!!
