Okay - here we are, day 1 of the cruise (November 4, 2011). We left Barcelona at 5:00 pm the evening before - sailing in the Mediterranean Sea. I took this photo our from our cabin window. I think the waves were about 5'? Hard to tell. It was a little bouncy - but not bad. As you can tell, our cabin was in the bottom level (what I like to call "steerage"). Actually, it ended up being a good place (middle of the ship, low down) because there were a couple of days and nights when it got pretty rough so the lower down in the ship you are the smoother it is. :-)

We are at sea all day and will arrive at Malaga, Spain tomorrow morning at 8:00 am.
