Aboard the Monarch Queen

We started the day off with a hotel maid walking in on us fast asleep shortly after 10:00AM. We’d forgotten to hang the “Do Not Disturb”’sign on the door.

On the bright side, we needed to be awakened and we finally got a good night’s sleep. Checkout time is 11 but we got it extended to 11:30 and were in the lobby by 11:20.

It’s raining lightly and we decided to walk to the boat. Walking slowly we arrived in less than 15 minutes and were welcomed aboard.

We’re sitting in the forward lounge around noontime, drinking good coffee and waiting for our stateroom to be ready.

So far it looks a little better than we thought it might.
