A text came through to say that the Southerners were around 20 mins away, so we headed for the terminal. Along the way we spotted a hand car wash, and decided we had time to indulge. A bird had left a huge deposit on the bonnet overnight that required industrial style cleaning. Unfortunately the Kosovans in Harwich are much more thorough than those in Rotherham and we kept the others waiting on the docks. The car was gleaming though.
We transferred luggage, boarded the bus, and were soon entering the cruise terminal. Much to our delight, and the chagrin of the Allums, we were fast tracked due to our Gold Crown and Anchor club status, and were booked in in no time. We waited patiently for the peasants and at last boarded The Brilliance Of The Seas.
The Centrum
By this time it was time for lunch. We ate in the Windjammer which was very busy, then made our way to our cabins. Ian and I were very pleasantly surprised at the space and brightness of our balcony cabin.
The boring lifeboat demonstration out of the way the girls and I explored the ship, finding several nice bars in the process. We then dressed for our first dinner. The boring Welcome Show out if the way ( a very poor magician) we made our way to the lovely Mistrel Dining Room. The food was great as usual. Afterwards Ian and I drank champagne in the Centrum bar while listening to a lovely singing duet.
This is the life
