Night One: We explored the ship, unpacked a bit, and got ready for the evening's show and dinner.
The show was a comedian that was TERRIBLE!!! He was from New Jersey and Adam actually thinks we may have also walked out of his show at the Borgata, LOL! We decided to venture to the casino where I picked up my card with a sticker that allowed me free drinks in the casino (yay, thanks again Foxwoods! I guess I can get free drinks on the ship without the drink package.) I tipped with cash and the bartenders were great and always gave me very heavy pours of Cabernet (since Adam and I were sharing one glass since he didn't have a stickered card).
The casino was small (or smaller than I'm used to given the size of the CT and AC casinos we frequent and never having been on a ship with a casino). The game selection was not to our liking, tons of boring old games and the bright 5 reel games, some reels, old IGTs, and a few newer Bally Games. We went to the casino maybe 4 of the 7 nights and spent maybe an hour or so there each time.
Adam won off the first $20 he put in and played off those winnings (going up to $100, losing most of it, hitting a bonus to get it back, etc) the entire trip except for the last night where he finally lost his entire tito and put more money in the machines. I on the other hand, lost on every machine I put money into. It was pitiful and since we didn't like the game selection, and knew we wouldn't earn anything with play, we didn't feel obligated to play and preferred to save our bankroll for future trips.
Our tablemates at dinner were great! We've lucked out on every cruise having great company at the seated dinners. It made the dinners so much more enjoyable!
Day Two was a Sea day and we spent most of it soaking up sun by the pool, sitting on our balcony getting sun, and watching people play silly pool games. It was great!!
Here is the sunset from our balcony!

I think we skipped this night's show and overall, the shows were fairly bad. There was one that we really enjoyed, it was also a comedian that juggled axes and was hysterical. (He participated in some of the nightly game shows and such as well).
Day 3: Labadee, Hispaniola (Haiti)
This place was AWESOME!! The beach was amazing and we spent the entire day enjoying the sun and ocean!
View of Labadee from our balcony and my view from my beach chair, just beautiful!
