I’m taking the easy way out this trip! since we have a port virtually every day – this will be the abbreviated blog. You’ll still get the feel of the trip – just not all the run on details! Let’s begin:
Embarkation day – we leave our hotel and get to the ship really early (no traffic on Saturday and our driver makes really good time!). We dump our bags with the cruise porter and spend the next hour and a half touring the USS Iowa (The Battleship of the Presidents) which is docked a couple of piers down from the Sapphire Princess.
It’s a gorgeous day, and a fun little self guided tour.
The ship is amazing – and I never realized the history – that this is where Roosevelt developed the plans to invade Normandy. Pretty neat!
More wandering, conning tower, gun towers, mess, tomahawk boxes. All interesting and a good way to pass the morning before boarding our more peaceful ship!
Aboard the Sapphire Princess, we go to our aft cabin – awesome huge balcony! – leave our travel bags and head to lunch. Normal embarkation day – unpack, gym, dinner, show…then to bed for our first day in port
