I think we will arrive around 1.30 assuming Dame’s flight is on time.

I love afternoon tea so will definitely try to arrive in time for this.

If I buy a bottle of wine at Boston Bay in Port Lincoln tomorrow, will I be allowed to have that as my 'one bottle per cabin' or do I have to bring it today?

I think it’s a today thing? But have never tried.

I’m here at Adelaide Airport. No plane for me but waiting for the DameO in 5 minutes.


I’m not sure about afternoon tea but will aim. Depends if the peskies make us wait until the supposed 4pm boarding. DameO being platinum might help though.

Bins emptied, dishwasher on - as soon as this episode of JAG is over I will don my cruisewear

Huge balcony though.

Do cruises have FF boarding gates? So you dont have to do the squiggle-move-the-masses-line?

They have priority lines.
Another 4 of us are onboard and heading to cabins.

 

[Pushka]

There were no masses at all. We walked into checkin, collected passes and through screening and onto the ship. But yes they do have priority lines.

 

[Pushka]

First meal. Checked out the cafe but in need of lunch headed to the buffet. Gorgeous being outside.






Have handed over coffee cards for lattes.
