From Ozarka to Oh-La-La: My Sparkling Water Awakening 💅
Hey cruise bestie!
Okay, so remember when I said this cruise was different?
Let me paint you a picture of just HOW different…
Picture me, scrolling through the pre-cruise booking options, looking for water to have in our room.
You know, the usual suspects – Ozarka, Crystal Geyser…
Nope! The only options?
San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna Water fancy pinky up 🥂
And oh my gosh, I have to tell you about my sparkling water drama!
When I realized what I’d ordered, I literally ran to Guest Services like “Help!
There’s been a terrible mistake!” 😅
Me, the girl who always thought sparkling water tasted like TV static, had accidentally ordered not one, but TWO cases of the fancy stuff!
After finding out they were fully stocked with just the sparkling options, I did what any normal person would do – I panic-Googled “benefits of sparkling water” in my room.
And you guys…
I reluctantly took my first sip, and… wait for it… it wasn’t horrible?
By day three, I was actually craving it!
Turns out, this accidental bougie water order was a blessing in disguise.
Not only was I feeling fancy, but I learned it’s amazing for digestion (hello, pasta and dessert every night!) and packed with minerals.
Who knew my clumsy ordering would turn me into a sparkling water convert?
Now I’m that person who knows the difference between San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna Water.
What has Celebrity done to me?! 🤦♀️
And get this –
I accidentally ordered TWO cases of sparkling water!
But here’s the wild part… my skin?
GLOWING.
Like, “who-is-she?” glowing!
Between the fancy bubbles and Celebrity’s amazingly filtered water, I was living my best life.
My husband kept asking what skincare I packed! 😂
Now, let’s talk about those showers for a second.
You know how after a beach day, you’re racing back to shower before everyone else so you don’t get stuck with the dreaded trickle of lukewarm water?
Not. Here.
Y’all, I actually had to turn DOWN the hot water.
Me!
The person who usually cranks it up until it feels like a sauna!
And the pressure?
Heavenly.
Even with an entire ship of sandy beach-goers showering at the same time!
But wait – I haven’t even told you about boarding yet!
You know that anxiety-inducing chaos that usually comes with boarding a cruise ship?
The lines, the confusion, the whole “hurry up and wait” situation?
This was… different. Like, “am I boarding a private yacht?” different.
The way they handled everything, especially that cruise card situation… chef’s kiss
But honestly?
That deserves its own story.
Because when I tell you how they made us feel like we were stepping onto our own personal yacht that we just happened to invite a few hundred friends onto…
More on that tomorrow!
(Including the part about how they managed to make a simple cruise card feel like a VIP pass to paradise! 🎉)
Still pinching myself, JaQuay
P.S. Is it weird that I’m already practicing how to say “San Pellegrino” properly for my next cruise? 😅
