![]() We had our usual first sea day ‘Snoozemates and Friends’ cocktail party in Billies Piano Bar at 1:00 pm. ![]() Cruise activities for the day have begun, but we finished exploring the ship and had a casual morning. Also just below the Deli and Salad bar, very convenient for a quick snack. Our cabin is located just below the lido beverage area so it is very easy to get juices, tea, and lemonade as needed. It was good so that is a good sign for the cruise. I had the Melon, Eggs Benedict, Bacon, hash brown Potatoes, Juice, and hot milk. I started the morning with my usual 1st morning Carnival MDR breakfast in Truffles. Not too concerned as this is a sea day and weather is to improve as the day progresses. Very blustery day with choppy seas as we sail from the English Channel and into the North Sea. It did not disappoint as JH was his usual very entertaining self and the newbies were rolling in laughter. Since we had two Carnival newbies in our group I insisted that we attend the 10:15 pm Welcome Show presented by John Heald in the Follies lounge. DW and I had a nice salad in the Unicorn (Lido) before dinner so I only had the new Chicken a la Grecque entree, but had two desserts: the Creme Brulee and Black Forest Gateau. We have two round tables located center in the Truffles Dining Room (MDR) for late seating dinner. Most of the public rooms and lounges are located forward on the ship including the piano bar, comedy club, and of course the primary show lounge. First impression is good, but she has not had the 2.0 upgrades as yet. It was time to explore the ship as it is my first time on the Carnival Legend. I was surprised to see all the large wind turbines in the channel. ![]() Just after 5:00 pm we had an excellent view of the ‘White Cliffs of Dover’ as we sailed out of the harbor and into the English Channel to begin our wonderful cruise. I was able to sneak away to the cabin for a short snooze before the mandatory safety briefing. Soon we began seeing our other friends and that’s all it takes for a party to start. After dropping our bags in the cabin we were up on Lido deck for lunch. Embarkation was smooth as they had been boarding for a while, we basically just checked in at the VIP Desk and walked onto the ship. ![]() We decided to walk across the bridge back to the pier as it would be a long wait for a taxi, but the weather was cool and only about a mile so off we go. Ladies and luggage at the cruise terminal & then returned our friends rental car. ![]()
