Day 2 – Tuesday 6 August 2024
The boat rafted to us during the night left at 08:15 and we departed for Utrecht 20 minutes later. At 09:30 was the mandatory safety drill. Summoned by an alarm we went to the sundeck where we were handed a lifejacket, which the crew fastened, we gave our cabin number to be checked off and our lifejackets were unfastened and taken back by a crew member.
Back in the lounge the Cruise Director gave a talk on the first four ‘Free Choice’ excursions and we had a form to select the ones we wanted to go on.
We moored at Utrecht at 11:30 https://what3words.com/surround.subtle.panic

The walking tour of Utrecht left at 14:00 and returned at 17:15, with the boat leaving to head to Veere at 17:30.
Dinner tonight was the Welcome Gala Dinner, preceded by the Captain’s Welcome Cocktail in the lounge (which we didn’t attend).

There was a general knowledge quiz in the lounge afterwards in which we were one of three finalists, losing on the tiebreaker which wanted the length of the Titanic in metres.
