21st Day - Start of Cruise

We had a very leisurely morning as we did not have to leave the hotel till 11am and boarding wasn't till 1pm. We caught a taxi at midday and it only took 15 mins or so for $26. He brought us right to the spot and boarding had already started so it only took maybe 20mins which was a heck of a lot quicker than we have experienced before. We went straight to our room to check it out and are quite happy with it although it is an inside cabin. It seems there are only a few of these cabins squeezed in between the suites and penthouse and we have to pass by their exclusive lounge to join all the other average people!!!! Their lounge looks so nice with all sorts of goodies. After lunch we had our drill on deck and then I had a nap while Eric checked out the lay of the land (or ship). We received a special invite to eat in the Italian Restaurant (don't know why) so fronted up there at 7.30 thinking there must be some kind of presentation going on, but no, nothing. After our meal we went to the concert where the artists for the week gave us a preview and then we listened to a Jazz trio for a while. Oh, I forgot to say Eric won a bottle of champagne in a raffle. The other prizes were a lovely watch and a bracelet so it is a pity we did not win one of those as we won't drink the bubbly. We will give it to the steward if he is allowed to have it. Otherwise today is not much more to report on and we sailed at 4.00pm and anchor tomorrow morning at 7.00am in Bay Harbour.
