{bon voyage: cruise day 1 & 2}

After being anxious and excited all night we woke up packed our bags 

I packed mine with VODKA! :) Yup I snuck a big ole' bottle of booze onto the SHIP!

I used these in case anyone is wondering.  They x-ray your bag but it was awaiting me upon my arrival later that evening.  I was joking with my aunt that if the ship paged her it was because they needed to confiscate my booze.

 We sailed on the Norwegian Dawn - Freestylin if you will.  It's their claim to the seas..

No set schedules. No sitting with weirdos.  Just come and go as your please and OH did I!

 This next statement I'm being a total brat - We had a penthouse suite complete with a butler.  There I said it.  I was only in the room to sleep but my aunt, mom and uncle were in love with it.  I told them all I needed was a bed to sleep off my hangover.  But this would do.

The pool deck where I spent most of my time in that hot tub right there.  Not a good idea once you've been boozing..

 My mom and her brother (my uncle) watching the ship set sail

 Yup I put that bikini right on within minutes of getting on the ship.  Found my luggage made it with my vodka and made myself a nice little cocktail of vodka and crystal light.  Aka vodka water..

 Adios Tampa!

They had a set sail party thing while we were leaving.  Such an exciting time.. Said vodka is in that cup.. Which is now missing at sea.. No idea where I left it.

My mom was my partner in crime the whole trip.. She stayed out with me almost every night.

 Yummy surf and turf the first night.. Sooooo delicious

 Smoked salmon tartar.  BOMB.com...

 Lemon Sorbet to finish it off.. Then it was to refill my vodka and go dancing at Spinnaker Lounge with my mom

 Seriously how cute is my mom? She was dancing the night away.

Love her - I think this is my favorite picture of the cruise it's been placed in my heart forever the smile on her face while we went out every night.  For the record we stayed up till like 3:30 am that night..

Love her to pieces!

DAY 2

Day 2 was an at sea day..  Let's just say me and vodka water got alittle too friendly this day.  I met the most hilarious couple (gay guy and his gal pal) and we were inseperable from that day on.  Oh the memories.  I really can't explain most of them it was just pure laughter.

Started off the day by meeting them and proceeding to share a entire bottle of champagne with just him and I.  Then we moved onto vodka with something who knows.  Got in the hot tub.. 

Hot tubs and alcohol = HOT MESS

I passed out on the deck tanning till like 5 pm my mom told me to make sure I was ready for dinner by 7.  So I run back to the room and then proceed to fall asleep in my bikini until 10pm.  Totally missed dinner..

I wandered out to the 24 hour diner place and nursed my daytime drinking hangover.  Oh yes - let's not forget I was still in my bikini shorts and a hoodie.

Then I went to the "dance" place like that.  Didn't know where anyone was.  Look at the dance floor and there is my MOM up there dancing to the YMCA by herself.  

Only the TWO of us are that silly that we end up at the club on our own.  Me looking like a hot mess, my mother breaking it down. 

Oh lordy.. The good times to come.. I only wish I had photo evidence of this whole day..

My nickname the rest of the cruise was Juicy which was suppose to be Saucey but we were alittle tipsy and my new friends couldn't recall it so I was re-nicknamed Juicy!
