The weather report wasn't fantastic, yet we've returned with sunburn.

We arrived in Southampton docks at 10am with fingers crossed to get on early, having our parents with us requiring special assistance. Unfortunately they had a computer glitch and had to disembark everyone manually so they were still getting off at 11am. We dropped the bags, parked the car and was through check in within 10 minutes - unfortunately we were told that we would have to wait a couple of hours for a wheelchair assistance and as we had number 1 priority cards, Mum and Dad set off walking - albeit very slowly but they got there in the end. A bit disappointed at this - especially as we got the the lift, there were all the wheelchairs piled up.

Cabins were slightly late, having being disembarked late but it gave more time for exploring the ship, it was cold at the sky bar and we were the only ones there so we got a chance to chat to the barman and he made us some fantastic margaritas later in the cruise (without island oasis)
