Departing on Our Cruise

We left our hotel at 1:00 in the afternoon and 10 minutes later our driver dropped us off at the cruise ship terminal at Circular Quay in downtown Sydney. Our ship accommodates 2850 passengers and our concern was that everyone would want to board at the same time. As they say in Aussie "No worries mate!". From the time we exited the car until we were sitting in the Oceanview Café having lunch a total of one hour had elapsed. We had a glitch with our room keys but that was sorted out and now we have a full day at sea.
