Dont forget the food!

 Food never disappoints. One thing new we tried was the Bento box from Ocean Terrace.  It's about $15.00 but you get 2 free casual dining restaurants with

Princess Plus and unlimited with Princess Premier.  My unexpected surprise was the seaweed salad. I actually loved it!

Seas the Day

 Sea Day and we are going to chill in the Sanctuary. 

Biggest secret ever! When you get on the ship on embarkation day, RUN, don't walk, to the Sanctuary, which is at the front of the ship top deck. This is what happens if you don't. They are sold out and there is a waiting list. 

The chaise lounges are $20 for a half day and $40 for a full day. It's adults only, no kids, beautiful view at the front of the ship, and you have a healthy menu you can order special items from. They have changed it to Bento boxes and healthy drinks. There is a private jacuzzi at the front with the best view of the ocean right in front of your eyes. You really feel like you have escaped. 

Sooooo.....the chaise lounges were sold out. Usually you wait in line, someone comes to take you through the Sanctuary so you can pick out your lounge and reserve a particular space. I put ourselves on the waitlist and then had a lightbulb moment. How much are the Cabanas? The Cabanas are $140 for 1/2 day and $20 more for extra loungers. Max is 4 people, so $140 + $40 (for 2 lounge chairs) would be $180 for the 1/2 day. I'm like....hmmmmm.....$90 a couple. That's do-able. I asked my  sister "Hey, you wanna do 1/2 day for $90 a couple. 

Here's what you get.

• Couch
• 2 Chairs
• Mini Fridge Fully stocked 
• 1 bottle of wine/ Perrier water and various sodas
• T.V with Head Sets
• Secret Healthy Menu
• There were actually 4 lounge chairs in our cabana. The photos were the day of reserving them. 
• Secure area for locking up your stuff.
• Robes and slippers
• And the best of all...... dah dah duh (horns blowing)  AFTERNOON TEA!!!!

Afternoon Tea is my favorite. Tea, scones, finger sandwiches, desserts w/chocolate chip cookies. 

For 4 hours you have escaped to a whole new world with calming music, excellent service, great food and the beautiful blue ocean as your view. 

Don't judge our empty plates. 

After a relaxing afternoon, we get ready for the night and try out some of the fancy drinks around the ship. Our favorite? Spirits at Sea where the uber cool bartender tells stories about the exotic drinks they are making. My mission is to try every one of them. I came pretty close. 

Oh the Menu? Your welcome.

CAA Cruise Addict Anonymous.

My name is Danielle and I am a cruise addict. There....I said it.
The adrenaline rush of pushing the button to book it, the excitement of booking shore excursions in exotic destinations and the comforting sensation of boarding the ship for a trip of a lifetime.
We have discovered the ease of traveling on a cruise ship by having to unpack only once, getting rocked to sleep, waking up every day in a new city, unbelievable cuisine, entertainment everywhere, unlimited food 24 hours a day, superb service, optional spa services and the list goes on and on.
As soon as I get off one ship I want to plan the next vacation.
Recovering......never.
