Finally, cruise day. It's the old "hurry up and wait" routine. We rush
through breakfast, only to have to wait 90 minutes in the waiting line
before getting on the ship, then it's another two hours before sailing.
Of course, the lifeboat drill was the highlight of the day (not!).
Shortly after dark, we're on our way, and Captain Neil buys us all
drinks at the Bon Voyage party in the Crows Nest. I can't remember
whether I had two or three WangWangs, but they were as good as always.
At dinner in the formal dining room, I harassed the picture guy by
taking pictures of him while he was trying to take pictures of me. This
became a running joke through the cruise.
