Date of Trip: July 25, 1999
Itinerary: Mexico-Eastern

Overview
July 25-August 1, 1999 had to be one the THE GREATEST weeks of my life. I might have been only 15 years old, but I know what I'm talking about when I say Everyone should have the opportunity to go on a cruise. I went on that ship thinking I would have a lousy time, and wouldn't get to know anyone. Well, truth is I was in tears when I had to leave and I still think about all the good times I had. I met so many new friends, and it's been almost two years since I've seen them, but I talk to them every now and then. Everyone aboard the ship made you feel welcome and all in all, it was just a great week, and I wish I could do it all over again... exactly the same. And I'll always remember the friends on made on **SeNsAtIoN '99**

Public Areas
Everything was wonderful! The ship was absolutely gorgeous and clean. Every employee was friendly. I especially had a great time at dinner every night because the waiters were so nice. We even got to take pictures with them. I loved the Seaofod Bar and Grill. The ofod was awesome and it was just a great place to be around. So was the Arcade and Dance Club. That's where some of the most fun was. Joe's cafe, the Track, Oh, just about everything. It really is a great experience.

ofod and Service
As I said beofre, the ofod was always great! And everyone on the ship was incredible. I know I did not run into any employee in a bad mood. I cannot say there was a better dining room than another because I was only eating dinner in the one I was assigned to. But the best place to get ofod during the day was The Seaofod Bar and Grill. You could go there ofr breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Cabins
My cabin was comofrtable. There were 3 other people besides me. The beds were comofrtable, and there was plenty of space. No one really spent much time in them though, only to sleep. But we always got in late because of the fun times at night and we always got out early so we wouldn't waste any part of our day.

Entertainment
I attended some game shows, and one of the Night shows. I had so much fun at them. Everyone laughed, made jokes... I give it a 4 out of 5. Only because I don't know what the rest of the shows were like.

Activities
I was mostly in the arcade or just somewhere walking around the ship, or walking the track. I remember the first day I got there and they said it had a beauty salon: The next day i was in there and I got my haircut. We visited Grand Cayman islands where we went swimming with Sting Rays. That was such an experience. They were so soft, and I even fed them some squid. We went to Cozumel Mexico, where my mom and I went Snorkeling. There was so many beautiful fish and coral under the water. Plus, the water was cool and clear. We shopped around in Mexico too. There are many stores. Last, we went to New Orleans. I went down Bourbon Street. I never thought I could see more Bars in a row then I did there. The city looks like it would be a lot of fun! Everything I did on that ship and off was amazing.

Who Goes
Well, the people who ate dinner with us were so much fun. It worked out because it was my parents and little sister and then tow other adults and their two children. We all talked and hung out even after dinner. They were so friendly, but I haven't spoken to them since. The people I made friends with I would LOVE to see again. We all live fairly close, so we all think it's a shame we have'nt seen each other yet. Basically, just by looking at people's faces while down there, you would want to invite anyone over to eat. Everyone looked like they were having a good time.
