Rhys drove us to Gatwick for the first part of our journey to our cruise. We were quite early and so we had booked into “My Lounge”. It was very good, we had fast track security check and had nice sofas in the lounge, breakfast and any drinks you wanted. It was a bit too early for us to indulge in alcohol! The flight was OK to Tenerife and then we were driven to the port to board our cruise liner Marella Dream. Our cases arrived within about 10 minutes and I have to say our cabin was much bigger than we imagined.
We ate our lunch by the pool and then in the evening we ate in the Orion restaurant (waiter service up there). The food was excellent in this restaurant. We were on all inclusive but in spite of this they kept trying to sell us an upgrade package for drinks. At £100 we declined, we certainly weren’t going to drink that much that we needed an upgrade! They did say it included better coffee so Mal asked the waiter what the problem was with the normal coffee. He then gave up on his sales pitch and walked away!
Following dinner we went into the theatre and watched an Abba and Queen show. It was a really lovely theatre.
At 11.00pm we went outside to watch us leaving the port.
Late to bed as we ended up back in the Medusa Lounge. It seems weird the wobble during the night as we were sailing.
