Southampton

March 20th
Southampton

Today was my usual internet day in England. I got off the ship around noon, took a shuttle into the city, made a stop at the Apple Store, and then went to a cafĂ© for my internet connection. A few hours later I had just about everything taken care of for another crossing of the Atlantic. I did, however, not clearly understand the shuttle bus directions correctly and missed the final shuttle, meaning I had to split a cab with some Indian guys from the ship who also didn’t know the shuttles stopped as soon as they did. Not exactly the best scenario in the world, missing your shuttle, but the port is small enough that a cab isn’t a huge problem. Regardless, I got back on the ship with just enough time to get set up for the welcome aboard drill.
And that’s about it for the day, aside from the usual welcome aboard show. We did get a new Cruise Director though, who seems nice, so we’ll see how that changes the entertainment. Now it’s two days to Ponta Delgada, and then another 4 to the Caribbean. Thanks!
