Honeymoon Day 10 - August 7, 2008

Location - Brooklyn, New York

Today we woke up and the ship was already docked. No room service today! We had to be out of our room by 8 AM, so we got the last things packed up and headed out to the breakfast buffet.

Since we were driving, we were the last to disembark. We had to meet in our disembarkation area at 10:00. There, we saw a couple (Dave and Karen, pictured right) we had dinner and played games with earlier in the week, so we sat with them and caught up on the week. Their son is applying to dental school, so Rob had lots of information for them.

Getting off the ship was easy. Finding our bags once we were off…not so much. Plus, we didn’t account for the fact that now we had to actually lug all the bags back to the car. Thankfully, Dave and Karen had fewer bags than we did and offered to help. After a quick check at customs, we were free to go. Dave helped us to the car with our bags, so we offered to take them to their pick up point to save them some time. And doing so, we got to meet their son! He asked Rob if he could come to his office and shadow him sometime.

So now the honeymoon is over and reality begins again. As we drove home, we were already trying to plan our next cruise! We agreed that we could have spent another week on the ship. The service was outstanding, the food was gourmet, the ship was spotless, the shows were entertaining, the people we met were awesome, and the excursions were quite an adventure! And the best part of all, we got to spend 10 days by ourselves! On a scale of 1 to 10, we give this honeymoon at BIG 10!
