The Voyage begins.. by maggiemae

The Voyage begins..

We have lift off! Or the voyage has started. We were sitting on our small and private veranda partaking of a whole bottle of champagne we were given when we sensed movement! And away we streamed leaving the shores of Hong Kong behind!

Three good things:
After immigration checks, boat emergency drill we retired to our room to put our feet up very comfortably! The bed was so comfy and we had a couch and easy chair.
Our butler asked us what we want to drink to stock our drinks cabinet and five bottles of liquor arrived on our dresser including a malt scotch, Glenmorangie!!
The boat is just wonderful - full of original art - Picasso, Renoir etc and the library is stocked full of great books!
Love the blue tones. Have a fabulous trip!
