Day 1: Embarkation

We had a seamless transition on to the Viking Neptune; greeted with champagne and met many of the staff. Having traveled on the Neptune's sister ship, the Star, with Julie's parents, it brought familiarity & a little sadness as we remembered what a wonderful time we had with them. Cheers Alma Lee & Jim ❤️
We set sail tonight at 5:30. I met a woman from Baltimore who went to my High School! Small world! Friends have asked us to take pictures of our meals. I won't do this every day, but I did remember to take a picture of Julie's dessert: 7 layer blueberry opera cake with white chocolate treble clef! Agtrt dinner, Julie ran 2.5 miles on the Prominade Deck (on a full stomach)! On to Cozumel!Read more
