We had a fairly quite morning, enjoying the typical Holiday Inn Express breakfast before getting ready for our ride to the ship. Once we got to the ship, embarkation went smooth since we had done all the prep work and had a minimal wait at check-in. Lunch on the ship was great, and our balcony looked over the city, so we got a nice picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.
We did have one issue when Mary's suitcase did not show up in a timely manner. Passenger Services assured us it was on board so we waited, and waited.... She had to go to dinner with the clothes she had, but her suitcase did show up when we got back from dinner. WHEW!
Sail away was delayed by an hour so the sun had set before we cleared the harbor. As we sailed out, Mary got pictures of the seal lions at Pier 39, and one of Ghirardelli. We sailed under the Golden Gate while enjoying our Pina Colada chilled soup at dinner. As expected, dinner was excellent.
The entertainment for the night was an Elton John tribute singer. In typical Elton fashion, he came out in a shiny, sequin-covered jump suit! The music was great and we recognized nearly all the songs. He included the original version of Candle in the Wind and closed with a rousing edition of Crocodile Rock.
Tomorrow is the first of 4 full sea days so we have several on-board activities lined up.
