I took the shuttle from the hotel to the pier and then had to pull my bags about 1/2 a block to the terminal and send them thru the x-ray machine. Then I had to go to the passenger entry and stand in line again to check-in. I was given a priority pass and a sticker for Cruise Specialists customers and sent to a special waiting area. I boarded the ship at 11:15 and went to the Lido for some fruit and a piece of peanut butter silk pie. Next I had a bloody mary on the aft deck and waited for my cabin to be ready . I got to my cabin at 12:15k and my bags were delivered at 1:15. I unpacked and put everything away by 2:40 and went to the Sail Away at 3, even though we didn't sail until 3:30ish. I had one of the sail away margarita which was not real tasty. I walked around the ship and back to the cabin at 4 to shower and rest until meeting with Suzanne and Leon, Sue Anderson, and Don MacDonald at 6. At 6;30, I went to the Singles and Solos meet which was a bust since there was no coordination by the cruise activity person. At 7, I went to dinner and shared a table with a woman from Australia and a couple.l At 8:30, I went back to the cabin to work on the blog and went to bed at 10 after a busy 2 days.
