The taxi came on time, or I should say two taxis came, the first to arrive was way too small, and I think he was trying to steal the other guys ride. Of corse our trusty inn keeper was on his side,,,, oh well the other guy with the big cab had our name, so we went with him. We got to the ship early, but no problem. The bags were off loaded by a nice young man, the handle baggage here very proficiently. They had three slots the bags went in one slot was for three floors, our bags, all six beat us to the room! We walked inside, they gave us the usual health form and a big plastic letter, we were I, so we sat down to sit to be called to Q up, when they did, we waited in line for a bit, and checked in. This was our first time on Cunard, so no special treatment. We then went through a very throe bag check, and walking around the waiting area, were two guys, BIG guys, with more armor on then I have ever seen, wish I could have taken a picture, but I was afraid too. Any on the bag check, the people had questions for us. In the computer bag there were wires that caused alarm,,,,, etc the lady was so apolitic, but when we reasured her it was fine and we sure didn't mind, she was so appreciative that we understood. Seems they had an alert of some sort.
Then it was on to board, this big ship, we had heard so much about.
Ok I'm back, and we now have internet so I will try to get this out today. It is July 24, it's our third sea day. We have had two formal nights one was the black and white ball and last night was the Captins party, we met the Captin, he is young and good looking, and would you be leave he is British? LOL
Any way he through a good party, the drinks, good champagne, wine, flowed like water. It wasn't long, but fun. The black and white ball was amazing, it was in a big ballroom that reminded me of the old supper clubs, back in the day, except no food. But everyone was dressed for the occasion, properly. We watched loads of people ballroom danceing. It was really fun. The drinks on this ship are a lot more expensive. It is more like staying in a Weston with food.
We are sitting in the Goldon Lion Pub, they serve a pub lunch everyday, it is very popular, and getting more so everyday, tomorrow we'll have to come after breakfast to get a seat by the window! Yesterday we watched a good part of the Open Fineal here, cool seeing Jorden Spieth do so well. Ed watched the end while I got my nails done, and he almost forgot to get ready, as we are in early seating, so, we have to dress early. Not my favorite, but it is what it is.
Fish and Chips.
