We finished check-in in about 30
minutes and went right aboard the ship. Our cabin was ready so we
were able to get started with all our Host duties right away. We met
with the Front Desk people to verify all the cabin numbers and then
Jim delivered all the welcome letters while I met with the Bar
Manager and the Pinnacle Grill manager to confirm those arrangements.
All that took a couple hours and then
we headed up to the buffet for a quick bite to eat and found our
friends (clients), the Jans. After lunch the luggage had been
delivered so we started putting everything away and then it was time
for the emergency drill. No more wearing the life jackets to the
drill; while that is convenient, I'm not sure it is a good idea
because there are always a number of people that seem to have no idea
how to put it on correctly. After the drill we had a glass of
champagne and then back to the cabin to finish putting everything
away. I think this is the first time we have ever used all
the storage space; but we did get it all put away!
By
then I was pooped, we went to the library and got some books, had a
bite to eat in the buffet for dinner and then I plopped on the bed
with my book and didn't move the rest of the night. Jim watched the
football play-off games until about 10:00 when he figured Green Bay
wasn't going to lose so he came to bed. It's a pretty good bed, a
bit firm but we'll live with that and also pretty good pillows.
This
morning we had a rude awakening when our alarm clock started buzzing
at 6:30 – something in the suitcase had hit the button to turn it
on. Oh well, that's about the time we usually wake up so it was ok.
Jim called for our coffee and it was here in about 10 minutes. So...
I'm sitting here drinking coffee and writing this. More later...
