After a drive to Valparaíso, passing a number of vineyards as you would expect, a swift embarkation, and we were ready to set sail. For a port that was more container ship than cruise, it was the most efficient we have had, partly thanks to checking in online beforehand.
Looks like we have a new captain?!
In contrast to check in, the loading, however, was less so, still going as we headed back to change for dinner, and we left quite some time after the sail away bands had finished.
For anyone wanting to track, we are on:

Ready for dinner and finally leaving town. Mark has, of course, booked somewhere different for dinner…… and different it certainly is!
What a great concept! A primarily set meal, with the importance of all in the dining room eating at the same time, amazing food quality, and of course the main concept, made for a very enjoyable and memorable dinner.
…. and of course, an extra animation and some singing from the waiting staff.
