Koningsdam

 

Hullo was a breeze. Clean, comfy and we had fun chatting with everyone around us.
The ride was smooth, the views were great.




It was shocking how close the ship was to where Hullo comes in.
Seriously the easiest travel day ever.  We dawdled and still walked into the port in 10 minutes.



Check in was a breeze.  Easiest and smoothest we've ever experienced. We basically marched right on.  We were on the ship by 10:30.  

Our view while enjoying lunch.
So nice.  The food was good too.  I sat with our backpacks while Eric scavanged, then we just shared ;)
This is our first time in an inside room.  So far so good.
The room is more specious than we're used to.  The colors are calm, it's pretty, it smells nice and it is spotlessly clean.  Aside from lacking daylight I cautiously think we'll be just fine in here.





He emptied the mini fridge so we can use it.





We ate lunch, unpacked, explored, did the muster station check in, wandered some more, had a snack and now we're having a lay down until dinner.
Haha, a total food theme going on.
I took this as we were leaving with Lili today.  Operation downsize is all in one picture. So, we didn't quite get it done as planned but it is all 'smaller'.

Small funny/not funny/panic.
I was definitely worried about actually being in an inside room.  Then it seemed so lovely so I was reaching a nice relaxed state and was optimistic about the week.  When we got back to the room there was a letter.  Uh, oh no.  Maintenance on water lines, no toilets, water, showers etc from 11 tonight until 8am.  Seriously.
No toilet.
For a WHOLE night.
Colectomy...I can't make it.
This is not ok.

I was thinking earlier that there are MANY comparisons to be made between HAL and Carnival and HAL was leading for me earlier today, now, I'm not so sure.
