Sunday 9-24-17 NCL Epic

We set the alarm to get up, and the girls and I head downstairs for breakfast.  We had knocked on their door and told the others to meet us there.  We had a van picking us up at 11 AM to take us to the ship.  This was a very nice upscale restaurant and the kids had gotten their things and I was drinking coffee when Teresa came in and said I must have Chris’s suitcase in my room.  I was sure I didn’t but gave her the key for her to go check.  Next step caused us all to go into a panic……we were missing a suitcase.  Teresa and I went through the trash to find the tags we took off and match them up with the receipts we were given.  We determined that all bags had arrived in Barcelona but in our sleep deprived state, we had left one on the carousel.   Teresa and Keith get a taxi and head back to the airport which is packed with people.  With a few hassles they get the bag and head back to the hotel.  Chris changes clothes and we head down to the lobby and our ride is there.

We were checked in and on the ship in record time…I think from the time we left the hotel until we were actually on the ship it was less than an hour.  We were able to get into our cabin and our luggage was there shortly after.  We unpacked and went to get a late lunch.  We have reservations at Moderno at 8:00 tonight which is the Brazilian steakhouse on the ship.  It was nice to sit and relax, have a cocktail and not have to be somewhere at the moment.  We watched us sail out at shortly after 6 PM from our balcony  and our Med Cruise was underway.  Our dinner was delicious and everyone enjoyed dinner.  The show is Spencer Robson who is listed as a vocal impressionist.  Basically he was a singer who did impressions of other singers.  While he had a good voice, his best impression was of Sammy Davis, Jr.  The show was entertaining but we were all sinking  suffering the effects of jet lag.  I think we all stumbled back to the cabins and slept well…day one of the cruise is in the books.
