Day 4: We embark "Exploris One" late in the afternoon

After a long, yet interesting day, we finally
board the ship in Quebec City for our nine night cruise.

Friday 4th October 2024
Our first impressions were good. The ship looked beautiful in the soft afternoon light.
 
 
 
Our coach was the first of the three coaches to arrive and we walked straight onto the ship. Our luggage was taken onboard for us shortly afterwards.
 
 
We loved our cabin, which was the most spacious one we had ever sailed in. A sliding door separated the bedroom from the lounge. This pleased Bruce because he would have a place to sit when he was unable to sleep, without disturbing Geoff.
 
 
 
 
There was a huge dressing room and a massive bathroom with a shower and a bath!
 
 
After the mandatory safety briefing, we were all invited out onto the back deck for a cocktail party and to admire the view of Quebec city across the water.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the drinks party, we went into dinner. Unlike other ships we had sailed on, all meals were served in one large dining room, which we thought was a little disappointing at first, but when we saw that it was bright and airy, with windows on three sides, we were quite happy. After dinner, which was a bit slow to serve, we went straight to bed, tired but happy after a lovely day.
