Ft. Lauderdale - Fri 01/03 - Day 0


I got to fly first class (on miles)and when I got to Ft. Lauderdale, my bag was the 3rd one out.  The cruise specialist people were driven to the hotel and checked in with Cruise Specialist.  Got to meet Teresa who books my travel and picked up my tour vouchers from them as well as my bag and vest presents.  My room was very nice with some unusual art on the wall as well as the bathroom door.  We had a nice cocktail party before dinner and I heard that they had somewhere around 260 customers on this cruise. After dinner, the CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines, Orlando Arnold, and the head of the Mariners Society for Holland America gave some remarks as did the Vice-President of Cruise Specialists.
