The holiday begins

We were taken upstairs to our cabins on level 8, where we were introduced to our deck steward - Mark, and given our cabin cards, which we were to use to lock and unlock our cabin door, just like a hotel. Tina and I were sharing a cabin, and Tanya had her own.

Our cabin was very dimly lit, even with all the lights on, and we had a small rectangular window, which was just a bit too high for me to see out of. There were 2 single beds which bigger than my bed at home, a small desk, and a bathroom. The door of the bathroom kept swinging and slamming every time the ship rocked, which together with the thick carpet made it slightly difficult to access, so we put a towel in front of the door to keep it open. Problem solved.

There was a safety check at 3.30pm, where we had to follow the instructions we were given, which included putting on life jackets that like rectangular witches hats and then all the passengers and crew got into party mode for the evening party - the Sail Away Party! We danced to loud party music on the outside deck, and I enjoyed a Midori Splice - my absolute favourite cocktail. The holiday had begun.
