We were on board by mid-afternoon but the ship did not depart until
around dinner time. Our cabin is much
larger than on our Svalbard cruise. This
ship, MS Fram, is much larger and newer than our previous ship. The cabin is a normal size and the ship seems
to be outfitted with pretty much everything you see on most cruise ships except
a salon and a swimming. They do have two
hot tubs though.
Prior to casting off we had the normal required safety briefing. The big difference in this one was the safety
gear. If evacuation is required we will
all be issued a full polar bunny suit to keep us from freezing in the polar
water. The suit includes seamless boots
and gloves so there is nowhere that water can get in except just around the
eyes. Looks warm enough.
