We boarded the newly re-furbished Marina before noon and as were are silver members of the Oceania Club we were in the first 10 people to embark. Shortly after boarding, we were given a guided tour of our new cabin and were pleased with its rather large size and endless number of amenities. We would be quite comfortable at sea this time around with a complimentary full bar, multiple flatscreen televisions and a jacuzzi tub right in our room.
That afternoon, the rest of the passengers boarded and we set sail for the island of Santorini. We would arrive at Santorini in the morning, the next day and then we would start touring. We paused after dinner on that first night to win back some of the costs of the vacation. Gym swiftly lost a decent amount of money and was taken by the earlobe back to the suite. That night, Gym had a restless evening as he plotted his revenge on the casino. Gym's dear wife also had a restless night as she re-acquainted herself with the "head" and dealt with the queasy tummy and sore noggin that always chimed in on the first 24 hours of every cruise she has ever been on. Poor Mrs. Gym!
After a long trip back to Canada, Chris, Nicole and George arrived safely back in Calgary.
Stay tuned for Gym's reports from three Greek ports-of-call.
P.S. I love the airdrop feature on my new iPhone
