The trip down to Southampton was by taxi and uneventful. John, the taxi driver got us to the ship by 12.30 and as always as quickly as we unloaded the suitcases they were whisked away by the porters. The booking in hall always looks very congested but the process is quick and painless. The security checks resemble those carried out at airports but are always applied in a friendly and professional way. Twenty minutes after we walked into the booking hall we were on the Aurora
The ship left about to the sound of fireworks and passengers drinking ice cold champagne. This was not the most appropriate beverage on a cold January evening – probably a hot toddy would have been better.
The first night on any cruise is always spent unpacking and finding your way around the ship. This time complicated by our second wheelchair going missing. We found it with the help of the cabin steward.
