Boarding Day

Our bus arrived at our Hotel with only 5 minutes to go before boarding. We were very excited and nervous. We boarded hastily.

It sped the 20 metres to the pier. As we approached a beautiful white ship with deck chairs, pools and spas it pulled up right at the bow leaving us a lengthy walk to the heated, covered gang way leading to the promenade deck lavished with palm trees.

However, we were directed to the little tug boat in front. We were helped off the pier down a wooden plank, onto a short ladder and then onto the deck. Our ship is a small iceberg.

Oh! There goes Tricia, seasick already.

Other than the bus trip, that is exactly how I expected our morning to be. However, the ship actually looks like this.

When there are no luxury liners in town it looks very normal compared to the others.
