Embarkation Day - January 31st

The photo above is of the Royal Carribean ship that delayed our departure by an hour. We were ready to go, but they were barely doing they're safety drill, so we had to wait an hour for them to set sail before we could!!! Our boat was bigger!!!!
When we boarded the ship, we went to our stateroom and left our carry-ons and then ran around the ship checking things out. This is the view from Deck 14 Lido looking at the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
Waiting to set sail. They were playing Enya: "Sail away, sail away, sail away!" After that they played party music and hawaiian music. They were teaching everyone how to Hula and then they did the Macarena and they ended it up with YMCA. You haven't lived until you see people in their 60's and 70's YMCAing! It was quite amusing!
The sunset in San Pedro!
A nice couple from Colorado took our picture. We're holding our mugs we got for purchasing the UKP drink package. For kids from 2 - 102. All sodas, hot chocolate, mock-tails, and shakes for one price! Otherwise you had to charge your drinks every time you wanted a drink.
Eddie loves taking self portraits. They usually turn out pretty good!
The Port of Los Angeles as we were leaving.
Floating by Ports O' Call! If you want a Saturday or Sunday activity, go to Ports O'Call around 4pm and watch the cruise ships take off. It's pretty fun!
The tropical flowers that were awaiting our arrival. It was my birthday and Eddie made it special!
Chocolate covered Strawberries! De-li-cious!!!!
It was a great birthday!
