Creator's Key Takeaways
This start to the cruise had gone from incredible to very flat, and we decided to turn in and get some sleep.
We were beginning to wonder whether this cruise was going to turn out to be a disaster.
We are cruisers that consider the cruise ship and line to be just somewhere to sleep whilst we travel slowly between exciting destinations.
The ship cast off from the keyside, and the excitement built. Passengers flocked to the deck balconies and in a perfect moment, the sun was setting.
