After dropping off our carryon luggage we went off to explore all the different things about the ship because we had a few hours before our safety drill. Here are some pictures of places on the ship.
The first group is the Sunshine atrium as seen from above. In this area you have a bar, guest services and the shore excursion desk. It was very pretty and seemed like a great place to stop and have a drink. They even had access to the outside that allowed you to walk outside and feel the ocean breeze.
We continued to walk around and explore the levels around the atrium. We found the Liquid Lounge which is where they have the Broadway style shows and then late in the evening it would turn into a nightclub. They also broadcast the morning show with the cruise directors from this location.
We ate at the steakhouse for our anniversary. I will give you a full review of that!
You used this machine to purchase wine by the glass if the bartender was not working. Seemed like a pretty cool idea but we never got around to trying it out.
The Library bar looked like a pretty cool place to hang out and read a book, play cards, board games and enjoy a glass of wine. We never made it to the Library bar. Because we hung out more at the Alchemy Bar and Red Frog Pub.
The Alchemy Bar was pretty awesome. The bartenders wore lab coats and really played the part of being a pharmacists very well. You can tell that they really enjoyed the job. We enjoyed quite a few drinks at this bar. You will see them featured in some later posts. Another favorite for me on this ship was the Java Blue Café and the Shake Spot. I didn't ever get any shakes but I had my fair share of coffee drinks aboard the ship :) They were nice to keep me going late into the evening or start a relaxing day of vacation.
After a little more ship exploration we went back to our cabin to wait for muster drill followed by setting sail.
We watched the Carnival Liberty set sail and then it was our turn :) My next post will cover our first two days at sea and the celebration of two years of marriage!
