On Friday, January 23rd at 4:00pm we
were supposed to begin our trip around the world. But, to everyone's surprise, the ship had
been in port all day and had not taken on any fuel. So, when it came time to sail away, the
Captain announced that he was waiting for the fuel bunker to arrive. So, there really wasn't a Sail Away Party,
because they did not serve any champagne until after fueling and it was
dark--so off to dinner we went!
We received our luggage late on the
first night and will enjoy the complimentary bottle of wine for the
delay--thanks Customer Services. Spent
the next day getting settled into our aft facing balcony on Deck 7 (7121).
