Up early to catch the bus to the ferry to take us from Vancouver Island to Canada Place on the mainland and the cruise terminal.
We reach the ship at 12 pm and get checked thru security and are on board to explore the ship and have a spot of lunch.
We meet up with Ursula and Ross and go to deck 16 for the sail away.
Short rest before dinner and we get in line for an extremely crowded dining room - which ends up in our favour as we are escorted to the alternate dining room where it is much less crowded and enjoy and delicious 2 1/2 hour dinner and conversation.
A tour of the shops and we head off to our cabins to meet up again tomorrow morning and make plans for our first day at sea, formal dnner and evening shows.
