Dress warmly for the cruise right now. We were lucky in Copenhagen that the brief showers were in the late afternoons while we were napping or at night. As I write this it's just around 12:22 on our first day at sea. I already feel tuckered out! Temps were in the low to mid sixties during our time in Copenhagen.
Yesterday was boarding, air "embarkation" day. I arose again quite early, 5 a.m., finished re packing for the cruise portion of the trip, and had the bags ready to be picked up at 9 am....
Breakfast at seven, back to the room. Nine a.m. arrives. No bag pickup. We go for a short walk and visit Hambleys toy store nearby. Disappointing after seeing the one in London. Go back to the hotel. Ten a.am. No pickup....mind you, we're set to depart at 11:30 so I was getting a wee bit anxious, as they say. At ten thirty I go down to the Disney hospitality desk in the lobby. 15 minutes later our bags are picked up. We gather our things and proceed to wait. A quick and painless check out at the front desk, I might add. Glad we chose this hotel.
11:30 arrives and we are ushered to the bus....this is it! About 20 minutes later and we arrive at the port terminal, with the Majestic Disney Magic berthed in front of us. What looks like a long line to have your passports checked and to go through security goes thankfully quick. We then proceed to the line to get the Key to the World Cards. Take our docs and passports again....slight hiccup. My reservation name doesn't 100 percent match with my passport name. For the reservation I left out that I'm the "III". The agent actually calls over a supervisor, who looks at it and gives the okay. Yay! Our photos are taken, I get a GOLD lanyard to signify I'm now a gold level Castaway club member, and we go to wait to be called to board....whoops. He didn't give us a time! We contact one of the many cast members helping out. She goes to help and brings us back a card...we can board immediately. : )
A pic with Minnie and a pic for embarkation, and we go aboard!
