Embarkation Day

Galveston Texas

February 18th


Packed and ready to go

The day has arrived




On the way to the port

First glimpse of the Regal Princess

After sitting out in the 38 degree windchill for about 1/2 hour before we got inside. Then after metal detectors and passport checks, we got to wait until the final passengers got off the ship.

After a 111 day cruise last year, we are at the Princess Elite level and got to wait in a special section with coffee, juices and pastries. Rob didn't wait to get some coffee!

But the Steeler fan didn't want to eat there.  So there was an Italian place next door and had one of the best Lasagna we ever had.  And then we got to the gate and was happy to see a glimpse of Home Flew near Nashville and then almost over Indian Head and Waldorf as we came into Baltimore. And it is over.  Back home!! Two Cruises in two years
