March 3-4, 2011 Queen Victoria Cruise

Thursday, Mar. 3
Queen Victoria, Embarkation Day
Betty and I cleaned up(sort of) and checked out of Frank Jr.’s UCLA married housing apartment aka Johnston B&B. Frank drove us over to Long Beach to the cruise terminal where the lovely Queen Victoria was docked. We unloaded the bags, gave Frank a hug of thanks and goodbye and checked in on the Queen. Betty has special status since she has been on these cruises so many times so WE get to enjoy some extra perks. The stateroom is excellent and after the emergency drill we pushed off from the dock at 5pm. We explored the QV and learned that the average weight gain on this cruise is 1-2 pounds per day. Yikes! I better go buy some big elastic waist pants. Short stop by the blackjack table-Cardshark Shepard won a lot, Johnston won a little. The after dinner show was excellent.
