We checked out of the Rosedale Hotel at 11am and caught a taxi straight to Canada Place where we joined the queue for passing through American Border Control. They had to inspect the clasp for Malcolm's cummerbund because it was made of metal, but they did not confiscate it. Holland America registered our credit card and gave us our room keys and when we embarked, we were only a few steps from our room when we boarded the ship at 12:15.
The room is very similar to what we had on QM2, except we have no fridge. We have a window above our double bed that opens onto the walking deck. We can only see the ocean at an angle because there is a bulkhead opposite there.
A paddlewheel pleasure boat came near us.
We had lunch in the Lido Buffet and and rested until the compulsory safety muster at 4:15. We reserved dinner in the Rotterdam restaurant at 5:30 where we met Jan and Ian and John and Sharon, all from Vancouver area.
We watched from the deck on a lovely cool evening then studied the entertainment and shore excursion options.
