Day 7 SETTING SAIL
Around 11am we farewelled our hotel and took a two hour drive down to Southhampton to join the Queen Victoria. At Southhampton docks, the process of leaving our car, dropping our large bags, getting thru the security check and on to the ship went like a fast moving conveyor belt and before we knew it we were on the ship and standing at the door of our assigned cabin. I hadn’t had time to get the camera out.
Unfortunately at this point, the system started glitching a bit. There was supposed to be an envelope at our door with the card keys to our room in it. Unfortunately all we found was an empty envelope. Jeanette dashed down to the Purser’s deck, got replacement keys and we finally made it into our cabin.
There were 6 on our table for dinner, a Ukrainian couple, a couple from the Gold Coast and of course us. We all seemed to hit it off well.
