Carnival Legend - 12 Day Baltic Cruise - Day 1

After our morning breakfast it was time to say goodbye to London.  While Michael and I were getting our luggage out of our room I picked up a bottle soda that he was drinking and placed it standing up in my purse (as we all know I carry a bag really not a purse) and standing and waiting to check out I kept feeling a drip on my foot.  I looked over and the soda wasn’t capped tightly and now my purse was full of diet coke.  What a mess.  But you will all be happy to know that Michael saved the Euros from becoming drenched. 

 It was a beautiful drive from London to Dover.  We drove by everything we had seen and a few others that we hadn’t seen while driving out of London.  We are all tired from our push to do as much as possible while in London.  Wayne and I took a nap and our driver about froze us out of the car….yes everyone I was cold!

Upon arriving into Dover we were delighted to see the White Cliffs and Dover Castle immediately.  We only wish we would have had a chance to venture out but we had to check in with our luggage so onto the ship we went….plus it was buffet time. 

Dover Castle and the White Cliffs

We had a wonderful lunch and then we came back to find our luggage her e and the unpacking began.  Michael raced off to the laundry with all our dirty clothes.  The man loves doing laundry.  It is done now. 

We had a required muster drill then back to the room and David opened up our balconies since we have 3 cabins’ in a row.  Now when we are on our decks we can all visit and check out the scenery. 

David’s Aunt’s Lavinia and Francis….I hope I spelled names correctly….have joined us on our cruise and we are off to dinner to see if we can have them sit with us.  The Maitre D was very nice and said he would work on this for our dinners starting tomorrow.  So we have our fingers crossed. But tonight we aren’t able to sit together.

Dinner was wonderful and our wait staff are awesome.  

We found the Serenity Deck…for adults only and that is where we are going to hang out tomorrow.  It is adult only and we girls have things to read, watch, or make and then guys have hammocks to sleep in.  Michael and Wayne tried the hammocks out…..

Wayne was determined to get on!

He made it and is looking forward to relaxing tomorrow!

Michael clearly thinks this is his!

We are all back in our rooms and taking advantage of an early night! 

Check out what we found when we got back from dinner.  He was hanging out with my sunglasses on in a darkened room.

Not sure how much we walked today but I am sure not as much as we have the last 3 days.  But we plan to find the deck tomorrow to walk and we are using the stairs on the ship.
