Happy birthday!  Your home renovation looks fantastic.  I really enjoy seeing your photos. 

 

I'll be following along here.  It looks like you're off to a great start and Greece is such a wonderful place to cruise - I hope you enjoy every moment.  I cruised there last summer for the first time and I hope it won't be the last (but your home base is my destination this year - love it there so, so much).

Wishing you a Happy Birthday🎂🐈

 

The changing of the guards was interesting.  I'm in awe at their sense of balance and holding those positions so long (I attempt yoga and after just a few seconds am very wobbly standing on one leg often falling🙂), they showed great skill and control.

A very good morning from Athens🇬🇷

 

We started the day early. 

It is a 30.minute walk from our hotel Golden City.

We meet our guide at the main entrance of Acropolis 07.35. 

We had booked a small group guided tour by Athens Walking Tours.

Great guide and just perfect timing before the crazy crowds were arriving😎

 

 

 

The tour took 1h 45.minutes. 

 

after the tour, we walked back to our hotel. Just in time for breakfast😋

 

Now it’s time to pack up and head to Piraeus💙🇬🇷

What day is it???? ITS CRUISING DAY🎉💙🇬🇷💙

We took the metro to Piraeus. 

We walked by the fish market, the churches ️ and to the ship.

We docking at Terminal C. 

It’s the same poor terminal as we had on Edge in October, the tent houses….

IMG_4967.thumb.jpeg.819d54ff3f592c23398718927432e1ca.jpeg

 

We arrived 13.09

 

Our bags were dropped off in a long line in the burning 🔥 sun. (Fingers crossed they take them inside quickly🙄🤪) 

Then it was tent number 1. Yes, the waiting tent. 

Water, chairs and cold towels was available. But really stuffy hot, no ac. Just a little breeze of 2 fans. 

 

We were handed out nr 24 when we arrived. 

They called 20 shortly after we arrived. 

 

When they called your number, they take you to tent 2. 

 

Then it’s a real house… security line..YES, you remember how the crazy 🤪 line was in October for security and Schengen out stamping🙄🫣🫠😑

This time it’s “only security” so fingers crossed it goes faster😅. 

And check in🤪

Yep, Greek efficiency strikes again😂😂

 

We waited for 40 minutes before they called our number. 

 

The check in went okay, same line as for security. 

We just pinged in and scanned passports again.

IMG_4970.thumb.jpeg.4c843c65803bc7b0aec404885780c4ec.jpeg

 

A bit windy on the pier😂

 

We went straight to our muster station to ping in. 

The cabin was ready, so we walked upstairs to drop off our hand luggage and pick up our cards. 

 

Paperwork on arrival.
