We left today around 11:00 to get to the port of Southampton. Through new friends from Cruise Critic we joined a group of 49 for the trip in. It was great to start meeting all the people we had corresponded with over the last year in planning this trip. Looks like a good group.
It was raining today and overcast. No pictures to be taken even from the bus. We got on the ship in quick fashion (benefit of having sailed with Princess before) and off to our room where all our luggage was awaiting us. We were totally amazed. For anyone who has cruised before you know that you sometimes wait until the last minute for your luggage. Next stop was to the buffet. Alan now feels like he's on vacation. Nothing better to relax him then the first buffet of the trip.
The Welcome Aboard show had potentially one of the worst comedians we've ever seen. After that we grabbed dinner, made some more new friends (Cardinals fans, but we forgave each other) and then just called it a night.
Tomorrow Guernsey.
