April 22-26 2024
I went on a cruise with my friend, let's call her "kk".
We drove 5 hours in a small car hard seats from Tampa to Miami, kk's parents don't have the ac on blast as I usually like, and we are not allowed to have the windows down and I always get car sick when I dont have air circulating in my face.
we arrive at the hotel everyone's tired from the 5 almost 6 hours we spent in the car, getting our hotel room after an hour or two we finally go out to eat, needless to say I almost threw up in the bathroom for some odd reason.. I've had stomach problems recently so my stomach was always hurting.
We get back to the hotel, the room has two beds when there's four of us so we have to share a room which her parents snore really loud and as me and kk need to have noise while we sleep kk has to battle with her parents to let us to keep the tv on.
The next day : April 22
———————————————
We wake up around 10:30am, tho the ship doesn't leave the port till around 4:30 pm, we decided to be safe then sorry. Since I'm not their kid and I didn't have a passport we had to have Tons of paper work. Birth certificate, my mothers marriage certificate, my dads death certificate, my social security card, all of the above we needed according to the website and the travel angent, we give our luggage to the the sweet worker and head on our marry way to security, it goes smoothly we wait in line, theres not to many people because we left early,
We get to the desk pulling out all these different paperworks and documents of me and kk, not having the one thing we needed to get on the cruise.. a photo id.
You are kidding me right? Me and kk are 16 meaning we need photo ids, our luggage is being loaded on the ship as we speak, us not being able to get on, this lady helps us get a Uber and the address of the nearest dmv which u guessed it.. doesn't do photo ids and only does license plates ( at this time it's already 1:30pm maybe)
We call another Uber taking us 30 freaking minutes to find him cause he was at the wrong place.. we find get in his car that seems like it's in the brink of breaking down. The man doesn't speak a word of Englisch.
we get to the next dmv around 20 minutes later, they only take appointments. Are you fucking kidding me!? Atleast the worker is the sweetest lady in the world letting us in after showing her proof of addresses, the wait was about only 20 minutes?
I get called up next to go get my id showing the lady everything I need, next up is kk who can't get her id. Yup. She needs her social security number (we also dont have that) to get the id.
everyone is stressing by the hell out thinking about how aren't going to get on the cruise while her mom try's to hack in the website for kk's Social, we get a call from kk's dad saying our luggage is now missing. great. How much worse can it get??
We get the social for kkand go back up to the counter just for the worker to say we can't get the id without proof of address, showing her ids, medical weed cards and who knows what else just for the lady to not accept it.. finally the lady caves, it's already 3:00 ordering the the Uber back to the cruise port.
finding out out luggage is ok everything is going okay after we busted out asses off to do this all, we make it on the ship just as they were about to close of the terminal thing.
Me and kk head up to our room finding 2 of our luggage's out side somebody else's room, then finding 2 more outside a different room, finnaly we find the rest of the luggage outside our rooms.
