On Board

This was my least relaxing cruise boarding to date. We quickly discovered there is no guest laundry so we will be paying full cost for that. Internet service is expensive slow and not even guaranteed. Although wireless in parts of the ship, it requires an ethernet cable in the cabin or as cruise lines delightfully call it, stateroom.

A cruise like many holidays brings you into contact with many people you would cross the street to avoid including a fair representation of the hard of understanding as well as the hard of moving. The first thing you hope is they’re not on your excursions. Then you thank God you have a balcony so you can keep away from them all. At least at FoD in the evening we’d have a chance of meeting like minded people.

I hope I can relax soon but that is going to be after lifeboat drill. Thank goodness for a day at sea tomorrow.
