Lunch is served.

Rooms were ready on boarding. Next up, Lunch. No line for the Wok!!

Made it. Halloween drink specials. Free gift for doing the round trip sailings. Very nice.

12:33 I see movement I think. Wheel chairs but no announcement so they don't get caught in the impending stampede.

That has always been my experience. They will allow you sit inside until the terminal is full and then male you wait outside. Literally every other terminal including boarding QE two weeks ago at Terminal B. I will take note if they really is no seating available inside or that was a lie. 12:32 and still no movement.

I'm really surprised they are holding until 1230. I know that was the earliest time available for check in but i would have thought they would hold back the earliest real boarding time to give themselves a chance to let people in early. As it is there will be a cascade effect where people who do show up on time will have to wait in line anyway because of all the early arrivals. Five more minutes. Thirty five if I need to wait till my 1pm check in.

After skipping breakfast I'm ready too 🤪

Yes.

Just the top piece. I'm guessing a new paint job for the rest. It was looking pretty rough.

That's mine 😆. Couldn't sit comfortably with it on my back but couldn't carry it all in my hands so had to use the backpack.

Who am I to judge

I think the staff are going to be overwhelmed. There will definitely be lunch but I am going to have to skip my plan of Mongolian Wok, line for it is it too slow and too many people will be ahead of me by the time I can get to it. You can bet I'll be checking on the salt and pepper 😆.

Almost a zero percent chance of orderly anything. There is a lot of bickering back and forth about where people are standing. There are also a higher percentage of people who are used to having priority boarding and can't imagine not being more special than all the rest of the priority pax.

Forgot about that 😆. Oh well, throw it in a bag and hand it off to Stuart 🤣. Easy peasy.

Another hour or so and I won't need to deal with anything for 14 more days 😀😃

I'm sitting next to a lady who was also on QE and spoke to someone who got off Enchanent so there are at least some who transferred from another ship. I would imagine most just showed up early. But I'd say most had to check out of their hotel early. Still, gotta pack your patience. It's not a great situation but making a fuss isn't going to do anything but make it more stressful.

It's getting tense out here. It's not ideal but we were told not to arrive early.

Kind would be to let us inside 🤣
