And that’s just before dinner.
We still had to unpack, get organized, prep for tomorrow and check out all the fun happening tonight.
Most Disney cruisers have a list of “must do's” and port departure is one of ours.

Sailing out of Dover was just incredibly beautiful.
What a great feeling - with all the anticipation of what lies ahead

(I can still hear Clayton’s voice welcoming us aboard like it was yesterday)
And we’re off!
