Today’s adventure starts in Southampton Ocean Terminal on board the Caribbean Princess heading to Greenland and Iceland.
Pretty much the usual start to proceedings. Parked the car, went through booking in and security and joined the ship. Started off with a morning coffee in the Atrium in very comfortable seats to watch the world go by, all sorts of lost looking passengers boarding and finding their bearings. No rush so the morning carried on into a lunchtime sandwich and our first cocktail.
Must get moving, so off to our muster station to get booked in then to our cabin to watch the safety video, all safe now shouldn’t be any follow up calls for us to complete our safety procedures now.
No luggage yet so it’s a stroll round to orientate ourselves with the ship and to find a sunny seat to wait for the sun to move round onto our balcony.
Watched the late afternoon sailaway from our sunny balcony.
All too soon the ship slowed to a crawl and off Ryde the announcement came that a medical evacuation was needed. All outside decks and balconies cleared for helicopter operations. Operation completed and off we go again.
Dinner tonight in the buffet for simplicity, pretty busy, many like minds I suspect.
As seems normal boarding day seemed very tiring so a return to our cabin to relax. Unpacked and then settled down for a movie. Hercule Poirot’s “Haunting in Venice”. Must be about the fifth viewing and starting to understand what’s going on at last.
