Civitaccehia, Italy - Embark Royal Caribbean Mariner Day 1

From S. Pietro station in Rome we took the Trenitalia train to Civitaccehia at a cost of slightly over 4 euros. The hour plus long ride drops you off at a station where you then walk about 1/2 mile to the Port gate. At the port gate, you load up on the free shuttle that takes about 5 minutes to get you to the ship.

Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas.

We boarded around noon and went straight to the Windjammer for lunch.  What can you expect on the first day before the cruise officially starts?  OK food.

Dinner:

What type of pastry appetizer was this?

Sea Bass

Mushroom pasta and prime rib

Savarin - sponge cake like soaked with liquer(?). Tasted stale.

Royal chocolate? All chocolate on this cruise would taste great.
