We got up bright and early on my 30th birthday, we showered, dressed, packed, and ate a super delicious breakfast across the street from the hotel in New Orleans. And finally, we left for what we had all been waiting for, for months!
The cruise says that you can start the boarding process between 12 and 2, but we were obviously super excited because we arrived around 10. But, it was so nice to get through the checking in process without standing in long lines and the lady behind the check in counter must have loved us, because she allowed us to board in Zone 1. Meaning, we were the 2nd group on the ship.
We had to take a group photo before boarding!
When we finally did board, we ate lunch. I should've snapped a picture of it, because lunch was delicious! Then, we walked around the boat. I spent the day snapping pictures on my cell and texting them to DJ so he could show G. At one point he told me she said, "it's a hotel boat!" Exactly, my darling, that's exactly what it was. G knew that I would be gone for a week and that i'd be on a boat, but I know she didn't have a good concept of where I would actually be, especially since we spent the week before hanging out on pop's pontoon boat.
We made it to our rooms, and this is what we were greeted with:
Pops and Grandma Dee contacted the cruise line and had our room decorated and left a bottle of my favorite wine! I was so excited, and ready to relax with that bottle!
The ship was suppose to leave around 4, and at that time we found our way on to the "back porch" to wait.
I got bored and started snapping pictures of the river.
Here's my mom and I on my 30th birthday!
And, then we cheered and applauded for this guy to finally remove the ropes!
And, we almost hit this ferry boat!
Then we saw this....
Which I think happens to be one of the most beautiful churches i've ever seen.
And, it was time to get ready for dinner, so ran down to change. Here's Tiffany (my sister in law) and I before our first dinner on the cruise!
And my mom and grandma trying to pose as I taught them. I obviously failed with grandma.
Here's myself, Tiffany, and Chrissy- all the 30 year olds!
We told our waiter it was my birthday, so he thought he'd make me a cat ear hat from napkins. I'm pretty sure, I said, "what is on my head?!" as he sang me Happy Birthday.
After dinner, we enjoyed our first show on the ship.
And finally found our towel seal on the bed, as we crashed into it!
What a fabulous way to celebrate turning 30!
