Aboard Balmoral

We had a very smooth journey down to Southampton arriving about 12, but then hit horrendous cruise traffic. Three big ships ; MSC Virtuoso, RC Anthem of the Seas and P&O Britannia are going out today + our teenier FO Balmoral. We were sent all round the house for parking but finally made it on board calmly at about 1:30 just in time for lunch :)
Now exploring and getting our bearings. Sail away is after 4, first stop Warnemunde in Germany.
