Itinerary: Bermuda

The ship could have had more things to do, but it was very luxurious! The stateroom on Warwick Deck 6 Starboard Side next to a search Lifeboat was rather small. My family doesn't mind, because they think the cabin was minor. I do wish they had a bathtub instead of a shower!

I could find much chairs when I just wanted to lounge around (I lay on the floor!) Exploring the public areas was a nice thing. I hung out at the Rainbow room (The play area), rearranged magnets at the souvenir shop, and even splashed in the saltwater pool. The casino? No way! I was too young! I did want to chat with the casino woman about a computer virus that destroys your FAT if you lose at the digital slots! The hallways of the Staterooms of Deck 4, 3, and 2 were confusing. Heck! I only saw the infirmary once! I was well!

The Buffet? Your average all you can eat! My mother HATES those places! The dinner, while gourmet, I felt strange when eating it (My family did not, so I am just alone.) I did like some items in their menu, though! The service was the BEST part of the ship! The Filipino waitresses liked me. We liked the stewards too! I even talked to a Croatian busboy about his own country! The youth director also liked me too!

The stateroom was rather tiny. Deck 6 towards the aft cramped near Uncle Don's stateroom was the name. I wish they had a bath, but I loved the chocolates on my pillow. I could hear the hum of the Casino below me. My sister fell seasick one time, but I went sound asleep rather quickly, despite my worries that the ship could end up like the Titanic. (Turns out, the company went bankrupt during December 2000 instead!)

The entertainment was perhaps the worst part. The bingo was very fun! However, my mother was turned off by most of the shows. There even was one that made fun of being under the influence of alcohol! There were some good shows! Who wants to be a newlywed was interesting. The wives would tell the host stuff, then the host would ask the husband a question about it. My Aunt Carol and Uncle Don won the show and got a bottle of Champagne! Everyone else got something smaller. There was also a music talent show! My sister's friend, Cara sung Route 66 at the show. My cousin Philip wanted to sing Brittney Spears there, but his mother, Aunt Carol wouldn't let him.

The Crown Dynasty left Philadelphia at 4 P.M. August 2nd. By August 4, we were at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We stayed there until the 6th. The Dynasty pulled away on that day, and we arrived back to Philadelphia on the 8th. The port of call was convenient because virtually all of my father's extended family lives in the Philadelphia suburbs. Deck 8 - Sandys Deck Pool and Hot Tub Gym (my mother took health classes there) Souvenir shop (I rearranged merchandise for the fun of it) Shuffleboard Rainbow Room (Childcare room) - One time, my cousin pooped in his diaper. There was no changing table or extra diapers, surprisingly, so I tried to go to the Dining Room to contact Don and Carol, Jake's parents. They weren't there. Finally, they came up. I was surprised they didn't have a changing table! Buena Vista Card Room At first I thought it was an arcade. Too bad it wasn't! Deck 7 - Paget Deck Library Disco Lounge Staterooms Aunt Tina and Uncle Dale were in the Bird of Paradise Suite Deck 6 - Warwick Deck Buffet Staterooms My Family, Uncle Don's Family, Cara and her mom, Grammy and Aunt Peg, and Uncle Mark and Uncle Chris were all on this deck. Deck 5 - St. George's Deck Muster STations A, B, C Muster Stations W, X, Y My Muster Station was Y Casino

My sister made friends with a girl named Cara. They are mixed up and like those found on land. Some boys buttered up to me. I even saw some boys fighting in the playroom. I would certainly invite Cara to dinner. I would invite some of the crew to dinner as well!
