As soon as we boarded, we rushed off for lunch. The cafeteria had stations with a random assortment of temptations: pasta, pizza, ice cream, desserts, a bistro with international dishes, a deli with multiple choices of breads, meats and condiments, and salads. We hadn’t yet parked our common sense so had avocado halves with crab filling followed by fresh fruit and coffee. Bill then fell compelled to sample the desserts – a raspberry slice and a small piece of peach pie!
We reconnoitered the ship, finding our bearings (actually checking where the restaurants are). A mandatory life drill was interesting as we all stood packed like sardines under our life boats. We had to wait for delinquent missing passengers to be rounded up before we could go and with our thick, solid life jackets sticking out we were jostled around like bumper cars at the stampede! Two assurances made me feel better – women and children STILL go first, and the life boats float even if filled with water!
