NO13 - Day 1 - Paul's View

The driver arrived early and we weren't quite ready. So in the end we arrived early at the port and got straight on in time for tea.




Leaving misty Dover and tug-free heading into the Channel. Time for the phone to have mobile data turned off!


The list of what is going to happen appears in a newsletter called "Today".

It told us today was a casual day so we didn't need to dress up for dinner. My new suit can wait until tomorrow.

Once tea was over, and we were very restrained, we had enough time to get back to the cabin to see the luggage was waiting for us, but just in time to get our life jackets for the emergency drill. Our lifeboat is number five and is accessible from Deck 9. Our cabin is 6050 on deck six.

Once that was over there was time to get back to the cabin and unpack before heading to the bar for a cocktail. Haven't had a screwdriver in my hands since Sunday... and then it wasn't a vodka and orange one.

We arrived at dinner in the Pole to Pole restaurant. Superb food and superb service. Then off to the Britannia Lounge to see the performers doing a Beatles tribute. Pretty decent show.

Then after finishing our drinks it was time to get to bed for a full day at sea tomorrow.
