Monday evening~~~We chose to have the late dinner on the cruise so when we are in port, we won't have to hurry back for dinner. When it was time for us to get ready for our first evening's dinner, we found that most of our luggage was missing. The kids had most of theirs but the rest was missing. They called and told us to check on the 4th deck and if it wasn't there check the second deck. We found all the bags on the 4th deck except one of Sharon's. We went down to the second deck and found the remaining bag, the ship had opened it because of liquid in it. (a can of hair spray) The reason they weren't delivered to our suite was because the name tags were tore off and they didn't know who the bags belonged to. There was a lot of other peoples bags with missing labels along side of ours. The Long Shoreman got revenge on a lot of people who didn't tip what they wanted. We filed a complaint against them and the ship gave us a bottle of wine for the tags they tore off the luggage. Our suite is very nice, (pictures) with a small patio which is adjacent to Cindy and Erik and next to them is Tony and Dee Dee. We can all stand on our balcony and see the others and talk back and forth to each other. The travel agency sent a nice bottle of wine to each of our rooms, so now the girls have 5 bottles to drink at dinner or before. Dinner in the dining room was nice, we toured the ship before calling it a day.
