May 17th Arrive in England and travel to the ship

 We survived the flight.  

We were greeted on board the plane with a glass of bubbly, followed by a before dinner cocktail.  Then we had dinner.

Bob and I both had the soup, short ribs and a very nice glass of red wine.

Real glasses and cutlery, it reminded us both of the old days of Ward Air.

The meal was actually very good, but they forgot to bring my meal so Bob had to gently remind them to feed me.

The pods were kind of fun with all the bells and whistles, Bob had to show me how to push the right buttons.

We were able to get a bit of sleep.

We were happy to see all of our bags on the carousel and got to our SilverSeas rep with no problem.

Boarded the bus which took us to a hotel about 20 minutes from port of Southampton, they say it is a nicer place to hang out for a few hours as we wait to board the ship. 

Made it on board and to our room.unpacked and got all ship shape.  Then as instructed by Janice H headed to book the extras we wanted.  2 cooking lessons booked and one excursion waitlisted.  Figured out wifi and we are set to go.

Now just have to eat and try to get some sleep 💤 .  Still have not meet our butler or had our complimentary bottle of bubbly but busy day.
