This morning we ate at Gourmet Deli and Jim had a croissant and Patricia had fruit and muesli. They advertised the muesli as crunchy and it definitely was very crunchy so wanted to make sure we didn’t crack our teeth.
Today we leave the Swissotel to go to the Callao Pier. Our bags are packed and ready to go. 
Our minivan was late due to heavy traffic and we had a hiccup that they said we hadn’t paid for a minivan after insisting we order a minivan to the concierge but after an additional $20 we were on our way. Our driver was pleasant and we went through lots of traffic for our 45 minute drive to the pier.
Arrived at the port and our luggage was loaded into a bus where we were driven to our ship the Oceania Marina.
Our bags were delivered to our room except for one carry-on bag that we waited all afternoon for. Just before we sailed we were told we had to go down to security as they saw something in the bag and they couldn’t open it without us being present. There was quite a line waiting to pick up bags that had issues. When they looked inside there was nothing that was a problem so Jim’s bag was cleared.
We walked around the ship to check things out and had a tour of the Canyon Spa. Patricia was given a sample Thai massage and she fell in love with it and she booked an 80 minute massage for our first day at sea.
Our room is fantastic! It seems we have a lot of space including a sitting area and walk in closet. We have a nice size bathroom with a separate shower and tub.
We had a mandatory safety/life-boat drill and found our muster station and learned all the safety rules.
We were supposed to leave port at 5:00pm but they were late in leaving. It was so quiet and smooth we didn’t know we had left until we looked out the window.
We had dinner in the Grand Dining Room. Jim had caesar salad and sirloin steak with french fries and passion fruit sorbet. Patricia had shrimp cocktail, sicilian salad, stuffed roasted tomatoes with orzo, vegetables and mushrooms and lemon tart ice cream.
