Sail Away

The morning woke me with thunderstorms, and rain flooding the streets. After a quick breakfast and a wait for the worst of the storm to pass, I pulled on my bag and backpack, and started the walk to the ship. My umbrella broke, but the rain was not bad by Vancouver standards (severe storm warning by Barcelona standards) and I had my rain jacket. The streets were empty, and it was actually a lovely 75-minute walk to the ship.

Check-in was unremarkable, and I was on the first group let aboard. I enjoyed a lunch of salad, hummus, marinated tomatoes, feta and fresh breadsticks before dropping my bags in my room and exploring the ship.

The afternoon passed uneventfully, resting in the now-out sun beside the pool, unpacking, and generally poking around.

Dinner was delicious- shrimp cocktail, prime rib, and a chocolate cherry mousse. The evening included a band, a cabaret show (Broadway-style), and silent disco.
