The holiday begins with a flight to Nice,
before joining our ship in the Port of Nice

Thursday 2nd June 2016
In the lounge at Heathrow's Terminal Five, awaiting our flight.
 
We were early... Bruce did a bit of plane-spotting.
 
 
 
 
Our first glass of champagne for the holiday!
 
Arriving at Nice Airport. We were on schedule, despite the strikes in France, although others were delayed.
 
Our first glimpse of the ship, as we approached the harbour in Nice.
 
Cabin 806 - our home for the next 24 days.
 
 
 
 
 
A view of Nice harbour, taken from our cabin.
 
Another view from the cabin. Thanks to Kim's telephoto lens, we could see Nice airport.
 
Drinks at the pool bar before dinner. Had we read the daily journal in our cabin properly, we would have known that we had gatecrashed the get-together for solo travellers... we did wonder why the champagne was free!
 
We attended the mandatory life boat drill before dinner and sailed at 9.00pm.
