Day 3 was an easy day as our only task was just to make it to the ship on time. We took a midday train with out of London and headed for port, in Harwich. It was geat to finally arrive at the ship and we took care of the lengthy check in process. .jpg)
The cruise likes to have some fun by taking a welcome aboard photo, which is always good for the ladies who have dragged luggage through a city, on a train and then to the ship, and did not have ample warning to fix their hair before the shoot. The cruise ship is amazing of course, and it looks like it will be a nice 2 weeks on board.
The main dining hall is really elegant and the food is fantastic. The crew are also really helpful and really make sure they go the extra mile for you. Viju, from India, is our cabin steward and always seems to be standing near our room waiting for us. I think he must have been trained by watching Mr Deeds over and over and we keep waiting for him to bust out with the “very very sneaky” line. The mandatory life boat drill was a good laugh as every passenger walked around the boat in their bright orange life vests..jpg)
I was really skeptical of the whole thing and wondered if we would really have time to meet at a designated point on the ship, and then do some fancy line-up before getting on the lifeboat. I asked how long it would take the ship to sink if we hit something bit no one seemed to want to answer that question. We hit up the casino the first night and Keri had a great roll at craps and came out a big winner. No one seemed to treat the game like the Vegas style craps, and the energy level was just above funeral procession. We had cake and champagne with Mom and Dad to celebrate their anniversary and cant wait for Amsterdam tomorrow.
