Hi,
Saturday 4th May:
Checked in at the DCL desk at the Swan Hotel about 11am left our bags and boarded the coach to Port Canaveral.As is often the case we had a very entertaining driver and the journey was over in no time.Got the port 1pm and headed for the check-in.Good news/bad news.The check-in desk for non US citzens was almost empty and they checked our paperwork and retained our passports and issued our Key to the Word cards.then the bad news huge queue for the boarding/security.Turned out it looked worse than it was and we got on board about half an hour later.
After the usual photos etc we headed for the room (Cat 6 with verandah)and everthing was good.Went to Topsiders for a buffet lunch and then did a quick recky of the ship.
Back to the room for departure at 5:30 (half hour late due to works after the recent fire onboard)and we stood out on the verandah to wave to all the small boaters and the people outside the many bars and restaurants,great atmosphere.
Our luggage didn't arrive until about 5:45 so we had to quickly change to make our 6pm reservation at Lumieres.Great food and great service.After dinner we had another look round the ship and then to bed!
Tune in again me'eartys for more thrilling stuff!!
