We now know our phone is working. Last night we got a call from our alarm company saying there was a fault in the system (not alarm ringing), as we have not heard any more we are assuming there is no more problem.
We were picked up a little before 11am for the drive to Civitavecchia. We were told to allow 2+ hours and we were there in just over an hour. We were able to board immediately after checking in. The cabin is bigger then the suites on the larger Princess ships. Lots of space, queen bed, sofa, table and chairs, desk area and good closet space. The bathroom is ok with lots of storage and a tub/shower.
I don't think they were ready for new passengers yet. There were no robes and so of the information and normal first day items were missing. We were told they had stormy weather yesterday and were unable to complete some of these thing. The internet is unavailable at this time.
We had lunch with a couple from Austraila. We spent the afternoon unpacking. The good news was that all of the bags were delivered quickly. I feel a lot more organized. Basically we had everything we needed for Rome in one bag, so it's nice to be surprised by what you packed almost a week ago...
At 5pm will be the lifeboat drill and the we will go to the first cocktail party for the suite people.
Tomorrow is our first stop- Sorrento.
After the lifeboat drill we went to the Steakhouse where they have hors d'oeuvres for Elite, Platinum and Suite passengers. They have different theme each time with a special drink. It was a good place to watch the ship leave port.
We now have Internet service and good wireless in our cabin.
We have late seating for dinner (8:15pm) and are seating at a table of 8. One of our table mates is a couple from Canada, Don and Barbara. He had a large cattle ranch before retiring and she is a social worker who works with women. They seem like a nice couple. The other couple must have ate somewhere else.
We skipped the entertainment tonight. It is when they introduce the staff and officers and tell you what the entertainment is going to be during cruise. We will be surprised.
We have to up early tomorrow as we tender into Sorrento at 7am for our tour of Capri.
