We've had an uneventful day, so far. We were so tired last night that I set an alarm, just to make sure we didn't sleep through breakfast. As it turns out, the alarm wasn't needed. But we definitely slept later than we usually do.
Staying at the Hampton Inn, breakfast was included. It was about 7:30 when we headed down for breakfast.
Breakfast finished, we headed back to the room to stow away all of the bottles we bought yesterday. It's a good thing we had a spare, little dufflebag. Our luggage count was now 7 pieces to keep track of, rather than 6.
We didn't think we'd be able to fit all of our bags in a regular taxi, so I ordered an Uber 'XL'. We asked for it to pick us up at 10:20, and he was there right on time. And, even with a van we still filled all of the storage. It's only a 10 minute ride from the hotel to the cruise terminal. Check-in wasn't starting until 11, so we had some time to kill. We checked our three big, heavy bags and, without the burden of those bags we set off to take some photos of the ship. We got a nice shot of our soon-to-be-home from the top deck of the parking garage.
We didn't have to kill much time. Check-in start at 11. We were through that in 15 minutes. Then we had another wait, until the ship was cleared to board. As we're now "platinum", one of the perks is priority boarding. So, once the go ahead was given, we were some of the first to board. We made a beeline to our cabin to drop off our hand baggage, then off to lunch. We had a relaxing lunch, accompanied by the first of our many wines.
Our next task was to unpack. That process took longer than I expected... Over an hour to get everything into it's rightful location.
Now, finally time to explore the ship. We know the QM2 like the back of our hands, but the Queen Victoria is new to us. Lots to discover!
