Embarkation

After breakfast we packed up and left the old town of Dubrovnik and took a taxi to the port. Our boat is called Queen Jelena and though only built 6 years ago is in the old style with masts and wood decks. So far everything about the boat is fine. Our cabin is a reasonable size, well fitted and the bathroom isn't poky. It is above deck and has 3 windows rather than portholes. There are only 25 people on the cruise - Americans, Australians and Brits. All greying some older, some younger. None obnoxious so far. The sundeck on top has more sunbeds than passengers so no early towel bagging required. The 3 course lunch was tasty. Only downer is the price of the wine in the bar - London pub prices - and you're not supposed to bring your own on board. We stay in port tonight and sail for our first island in the morning.Читать далее
