Navigator is in beautiful shape and the staff is even more friendly than we remembered!

Had a very smooth sail from Athens to Rhodes. Not docked in best spot...I think they will have to use shuttle bus but it is a sunny morning and a grand start to our Discovery Collection trip.

Already have met Beth, Crystal, Jim, Pat and many more and are enjoying everyone's company.

There is a glitch in our Petra plans as the ship has been assigned the second convoy through the Suez so we will not even arrive in Aqaba until late evening. We don't know yet what that means for the overnight trip we had signed up for to Petra. I think we will probably have to miss Wadi Rum but they will let us know soon.

We'll still enjoy Petra however!
