OMG WHAT MORE CAN GO WRONG IS THIS THE CRUISE FROM HELL

From the start of our journey on friday nothing seems to have gone right for   us I  even managed to lose a blog comment I had  done so I have decided just to do a list to catch up on every thing starting from friday morning
1)We went to Paddys Market where Michelle lost her purse,she had just taken her money out of the bank as well,to cut a long story short she was very lucky that some very nice person handed it in  to a near by shop.
2) Our taxi picked us up on time but wasn t sure which pier to take us too,but he  managed to get us there before 12.30.where we found out that the boarding time had changed to 2. 30 and they bused us off to Darling Harbour to check in  and have lunch etc We had lunch first as the line for check in was so long.
Neither of us  liked the lunch so didn t really eat much.After that we went and lined up for the check in and, as people came in behind us their friend called them to go up and line with them in front of us.My knees  didn t last long and started aching and after 45 minutes I was almost crying in pain.
3)After checking in we had to wait for our letter to be called to get on the bus back to board the ship this took another hour.We were bused back to the ship where once again we had to line up again and h wait in line for another hour to get thru customs.
4)Finally arrived at our cabin around 5pm,being my first cruise I was looking forward to check out  our cabin,as soon as I walked in the door,I ask michelle if she could smell the strange smell she said no,but later when she had  been out on the balcony and came back. in she said she could,so we  sprayed the room the odour eliminter .
4) After my shower on Saturday morning as I stepped out the bathroom I noticed that the carpet was wet,and later found that the carpet was wet under my bed also,so I let our Stateroom attendent know about it.They brought in a very noisy fan to dry it out,after six hours it was still wet,so we spoke to our attendant again about it and he said he would call in his Supervisor .
5) More to come will continual later Michelle and I are feeling a bit drained   and just want to relax and hopefully start to enjoy our cruise
