Embarking: We took it easy, had breakfast at our
‘usual’ place, then relaxed in the lounge until our limo came to take us to the
port. Boarding was more of an adventure then usual, because in December, a
major storm destroyed much of the cruise port. Cruise ships must now dock in
the cargo port, where there are not the usual amenities. As a result, we
checked in at a temporary facility, and left our luggage, then took a bus to
Argentine immigration and another bus to the ship.
We left port at 5 pm, and celebrated by drinking our bottle of champagne on our balcony as we watched Buenos Aires recede. We pulled out into the gigantic mouth of the Uruguay River, which is very muddy. After dinner, we enjoyed the music in one of the lounges, then the evening show in the theatre – Broadway hits. What a lot of talent!! I think we’ll enjoy the entertainment on this cruise.
