We met up with Tracey just before lunch and headed to the embarkation point. We got lucky and this one leaves from Sydney Harbour rather than White Bay Terminal! Easier to get to and pretty views.
Our room is 5083 and is midship and roomier than we thought it would be for four of us. I have one of the singles, poor Lana drew the short straw and got the top bunk!
After boarding and the mandatory evacuation drill, we headed up to the “adults pool” to hang out and wait to leave. I promptly got sunburnt and we also got delayed by 3hrs from leaving so we went in search of an early dinner (Angelos) before returning to watch the departure through a crazy storm from Deck 12.
We went to the 8pm show performance of “off the charts” and then listened to jazz in the Blue Room until bed time.
Cocktail count: A few on boarding, a few more at the pool, wine at dinner and then a few more afterwards! I really like the toblerones 🙂
