After port clearance, we proceeded to have lunch at the Garden Cafe on Deck 12. After lunch, we checked out our stateroom (10603) as well as Bibi's and Steff's. Ours was an inside stateroom whereas Bibi's & Steff's were balcony staterooms. Actually, we were pretty satisfied with ours even though there is no window or balcony. It is rather spacious and exceeded our expectation.

After the mandatory boat drill, we checked out the facilities on the cruise ship and we also signed up for the spa package for the whole cruise.

Our first night's dinner was at the Azura Dining Room on Deck 6. After dinner, we tried our luck in the Jewel Club Casino. This is the first casino that I could take pictures as we gamble and the croupiers are friendly and chatty.
