We got up today with a goal of leaving the house by 10:30 am and we were successfully on the SkyTrain before the deadline. We wanted to check-in on the ms Koningsdam with plenty of time to enjoy our lunch aboard. Again, we met that goal with flying colours.
Ships differ and we had to walk and re-acquaint ourselves with the location of the various facilities.
Sail-away was at around 4:45 pm or fourty-five minutes after the scheduled departure. I think some passengers were late because of yesterday's world-wide computer meltdown. If one buys HAL air tickets, customers gain a guaranteed departure. Leaving a little late didn't affect the gorgeous, July skies as we left the harbour and sailed under the Lion's Gate Bridge.
I'm encouraging my sister and Michelle to learn about the ship by exploring. (They bought drink and spa packages, so I know it's working!) We're going to meet up at 8:00 pm for dinner in the main dining hall. We booked to have reoccurring reservations rather than the open seating
They're on vacation and we're retired. There is no goal of this trip other than enjoyment.
