Well, I’m on the ship, and it is ENORMOUS!!!!!

Popped down just after 7 to get my car receipt, and it had already been cleaned and gone out again!! Sat around my room for a little while, updated some software on the laptop and then caught the shuttle at 10. Very organised at the pier, well I suppose with 6000+ passengers they need to be. After check in and the photo ID, we were allocated to rows of seats in specific sections, and then let onto the ship, with the diamond travellers etc going on first. Very orderly. The staterooms aren’t ready until 1, so it was then a case of finding the Windjammer, which is the buffet eating restaurant, which is also enormous, lol. Finding a table was fun, but did so eventually and then had an early lunch. Wandered around a bit after that. Visited the deck with all the live trees and garden beds, they might play bird calls, but I did see a swallow and a sparrow flying around, presumably also sight seeing from the dock, LOL.

Am currently sitting on the pool deck (15) at a nice table next to the window looking out to the wide, not quite blue, yonder. It will be good to get the hand luggage down to the room soon, as well as hopefully finding the suitcase there eventually, so I can unpack for the next 2 weeks!

I don’t understand these computers!!! Since I left home I have been doing the photos a specific way so they are reduced to a size easy to upload to here. Now its not working!!!!! Another Windows update that has stuffed up something, lol.
