Finally , we were complete as a group of 11. Everyone counted in for day 1 in this 7 day Northern Europe cruise. We were actually early in the terminal so we brisked through the check in process. Kudos to MSC for a very organized and smooth check in. There was a slight snag though earlier as one taxi refused to take some oversized luggages but it turned out all right for everyone including Bro Boyet and sis Becky who came in late from London. In fact, more than all right for sis Becky Echon as she won a 30% discount in one of their cruise excursions. We started the day with an information session on life on board and on the excursions. This was followed by a practice compulsory emergency drill for all guests. This was again a knee breaking effort for Becky as she had to slowly get down from the 10th to the sixth deck using the stairs. We chose the second seating at 8:30 pm for dinner. We watched also a show on Frank Sinatra songs and later went back in time going to a flower glory party dancing and fancying a trip back to the 70s. The ladies wore flowers in their hair as they stepped back to the 70s wearing their finest floral garments. It was an exciting awesome first day!
