Yesterday the flight was on time and we arrived in Los Angeles about 1:30 p.m. By the time we found our baggage and the shuttle service we still had two hours before the ship was scheduled to depart at 4 p.m.. As it turned out - we needed every minute - finally arriving at the Port about 3:15 p.m. They were already conducting the fire drill so we grabbed our life jackets and dashed to the muster station. From what we can determine, we were the last to board the ship. The good thing was that we didn't have to wait in any lines but we were getting a bit nervous when it took so long to come by the shuttle.
The ship had some engine problem so the Captain announced that we would be delayed in the departure so it was about 7 p.m. before we left the Port.
We have a cabin with a small balcony at the back of the ship on the Port side and it's roomy and comfortable. This morning we awoke to deep blue ocean waves with some puffy clouds on the horizon so it looks like it will be a sunny and warm day.
Today is going to be an ultra-lazy day with no plans other than a movie in the theater this afternoon. Tonight is a formal night and we'll be having dinner at the Steak House on the top deck. It's one of the ship's specialty restaurants (i.e. we have to pay a surcharge - but we'll hope that it's worth the extra $$).
