The key to a successful cruise departure is to get to the port an hour before sailing because by that time all the lines are gone and you can pretty much walk right on, to reserve your special dinners and buy all your beverage and wi-fi packages in advance so you don't need to struggle through the crowds to do that when you arrive, and to take a carry-on with a recreational devices. Then you get an adult beverage from the bar, take it to your stateroom and sit out on your balcony enjoying it while the ship gets underway. We succeeded at some, failed at most. I'll know better next time.
The best part of the day for me was the mystery theatre dinner. The main action took place in a lounge before the dinner and Dave was selected for audience participation by having the mob guy's floozy sit in his lap, play with his hair, and call him Bob. Repeatedly. Then we went to the Italian restaurant on the ship and had a wonderful meal family style while trying to figure out who done it (and watching "Sally" fondle "Bob" some more).
When we got back to the room we had an interesting shock: Instead of having a pull-out bed for Jessie, there is a bunk bed that comes out of the ceiling over the top of our bed. What 16 year-old do you know who would like to sleep right about her snoring parents? The J opted to take the pillows and the bedding from the bunk bed and to sleep on the couch. Poor thing, When I got up this morning she was asleep on the couch with pillow under one ear and over the other. At breakfast she confirmed I snored VERY LOUDLY. I'm going to try to find her earplugs today.

you must have been exhausted, you never snored that loudly when we were roomies :)
Sounds like you guys need to have sleep studies done.
