Well if I thought that London was cold, Dover proved to be a
totally different meaning of brute cold winds!! Even the ship had
troubles with the wind as it required two tugboats to get it away
from the birth!! The winds were over 54 km an hour. Believe me it was
a memorable experience. What a pity we had to leave London when the
skies were blue and all dressed up for the trooping of the colour.
Last
night I signed up to the package deal for the wifi on board ship and
now have to see how it works because it is expensive no matter how you
look at it and I hope it will not prove to be as inefficient as has been
told to me in the past.
The ship is beautiful
but cost cutting measures are obvious, the most annoying one is the
toilet paper. I am astounded that it even stays on the roll because
it's sooooooo thin!!! Some bathroom mirrors are kind and not give you
the heebie jeebies when you see your reflection but the one in our cabin
shows every crook, cranny and crevice that has been etched over the
years, but what is even more depressing are the lines!!! Where on earth
did they come from?! There are hundreds of them.
Yesterday
was once again, a difficult day spent mostly travelling not long
distances, but tied up with getting from one point to another and
listening to other travellers over-talking others in their group. We
finally got on board the ship hungry and tired. It sailed on time at 5.00 pm
and our luggage arrived shortly after. Two people unpacking in a small
room naturally takes extra time and I have found I am still sorting
things out this morning.
We have a formal night on this evening so the long black dress is hanging up and ready to go. At 11.00 am there is going to be a "dancing with the stars" event in the showroom which I am looking forward to.
