July 16, 2008 - Time to board the Century!!!

We woke up early and got everything ready to go over to check in for the ship. This was an extremely easy process since we were right at the port! Dan went out early for a walk and to get some orange juice and wine to bring onboard. It was going to be a great day!

This is the check in terminal in Amsterdam. It was so quiet and easy!


When you step onboard a Celebrity ship, you are greated by Champagne or a Mimosa... I choose the Mimosa and it was sooo good! This was going to be a fabulous 2 weeks!










This was the view of our hotel from our balcony room onboard the ship. We were this close to the hotel. So incredible cool. I would sail from here any time! Our room was gorgeous and we were ready for the day! I LOVE "check in day"! The excitement and everything around you is so happy and energetic. AND we were going to all places we hadn't been. That was exciting too.




Another self portrait of the Muster Drill... leaving from Amsterdam means that you get to do it in 4 different languages. It was a long Muster Drill.







It was finally time for sail-away. We met at the Sunset Bar... soon to be our favorite bar on the ship. It was a gorgeous day in Amsterdam, and we were sailing up to meet the North Sea. We would go through one set of locks to reach the North Sea. It was a very interesting sail-out. One of the best we have had.
