Cases Are All Packed!!

Cruise day is almost here! We have 4 days until we leave our home for an overnight hotel stay in Kent before heading down to Southampton's Ocean Cruise Terminal to join Britannia on Saturday (May 2nd).
This is a "G" grade cabin type
Today (Sunday) we have just about finished packing.  We said that on this cruise we would cut back on the clothes that we would take but It doesn't seem to have happened.  We have 1 large case, 1 medium case, 1 small case and one large holdall plus a back pack, 1 wheelchair back pack and a vanity case.  The hardest part is that each piece has to weigh no more than 20kg and because of this restriction we had to do a bit of Juggling with the clothes but we finally got there and then next Saturday we have to unpack the lot; are we mad or what!!  Apart from a few bits and bobs we are ready to go.  I have created a reminder door with lots of post it notes stuck to it to remind me of things we have to do before Friday.  I am very organised when it comes to preparation and information, you can never do enough in my mind.
Both of us are now considered seasoned cruisers and know exactly what we want from this ship and have done extensive research of what facilities she has on offer.  I have my blue cruise folder ready to go with everything we need from E-Tickets to Passports and information about every port we are visiting.  
Tomorrow we are going into town to run a last few errands at the post office, bank and chemist.  Even though we are both good travellers we still like to have motion sickness tablets as a just in case thing.
 To be continued....
