There was a band, a blessing, everyone waved the Union Jack, and we were off. A rousing rendition of Land of hope and glory saw us leaving the wharf and waving to people who had lined a pier to watch the ship off on its maiden voyage. It was lovely to be gently rocked to sleep at sea, and this morning we are off the south coast of France heading towards the Bay of Biscay, which can be temperamental at the best of times.
We are in the lower demographics of the ship by quite a long way, which is nice for a change, with very few children and young people. The majority are very much in the retirement phase - a couple were surprised we had come such a long way on annual leave.
Off to explore the ship - I have already checked out the library. The wireless is having problems finding our pc, so we wont get any photos attached till London, probably. We will log on every couple of days to check and keep taking notes of all our experiences. So far so good. The sea is quite pleasant, though a force 8 gale is predicted.
More soon.
