Saturday 25 January - all aboard

Had a nice lazy start to the day.  We went out for breakfast early, then later we went shopping again - Adam wanted to go to a couple of stores that sell second-hand cameras and lenses, but nothing caught his eye.  Meanwhile I had decided that I wanted to buy a new pair of shoes, and was gravely disappointed when I absolutely fell in love with a pair, only to discover that she didn't have any left in my size.  Found some different ones though - all I have to do now is work out how to get them into my suitcase!
Our hotel was quite close to Adelaide station, so the trip to the cruise port was simple as there's a a train that goes all the way from that station to Outer Harbour where the ships dock.
The lady checking us in had trouble with the booking so it took a little while for us to get all checked in, but no real drama.  By the time we got to our cabin Adam's suitcase was already there, but mine wasn't.  Needless to say after our recent "Qantas suitcase problems" I immediately started worrying that mine had somehow been left on the street outside the cruise port, but it did eventually arrive.
This cruise is just from Adelaide to Melbourne, but it was also sold as a longer cruise that started in Melbourne and returns there.  Just the same, when we had the muster drill - which was only for people joining in Adelaide - in the Princess Theatre, it was packed.  The theatre holds around 1000 people, so I'd guess more than half of the passengers are just doing the Adelaide to Melbourne leg, as we are.
I was a bit annoyed that they scheduled the muster drill at a time that made it impossible to get to our dinner restaurant on time - we've got traditional dining on this cruise -  but I thought I'd see if they'd let us in although we were late.  And lots of other people had the same idea, so they did let us in.
They've put us at a table for 8 which is annoying because those tables are too big unless everyone has the hearing capabilities of a 30 year old.  Only two other ladies showed up, so we'll see if anyone else appears later in the cruise.  The food was good, and between us, Adam and I demolished a bottle of wine. 
Adam and I decided not to bring formal gear, so we've already got a specialty restaurant booking for that night (since it's only the main dining room where they insist you should dress formally)
