At Sea

Saturday, March 7th, 2020   At Sea   Sea days are meant to be relaxing, but they often turn out to be busier than port days. This was one of those days.   I got up early to do the laundry, but by the time I got to the launderette...

Wednesday, March 4th, 2020   At Sea   Yay, another sea day! It was a lovely day with gentle sea breezes, perfect for walking on the deck and sitting in the shade. Days like this go by so fast. It seems like I had just got up, and there...

Monday, March 2nd, 2020   At Sea   Still feeling very shaken by the loss of Bill, it was hard to concentrate on life on board.   I spent most of the day with my friend.   It was good to see how supportive the staff on the...

Friday, February 28th, 2020   At Sea   Today was another treat. We spent most of the day passing by beautiful little islands. We were going really slowly, so we had a good look at them. Most seem to be deserted, but they had beautiful...

Thursday, February 27th, 2020   At Sea   Ruth has been home for 9 days now, and still has problems with getting back to her regular sleep routine, and recovering from her arduous journey home. Brian has settled well into our new time...

Wednesday, February 26th, 2020 At Sea   A much needed sea day after 2 hectic port days in Darwin, so I spent most of the day in the Commodore Club. It is jolly hot out on deck, but lovely and cool inside.   As we are heading towards...

Sunday, February 23rd, 2020   At Sea   We put our watches forward by a half hour last night – I thought that Canada and India/Sri Lanka were the only countries with a half hour time difference, but clearly this part of Australia does...

Saturday, February 22nd, 2020   At Sea   This is the bag I received last night: We decided it was time to send out the invitations for our planned stateroom soiree on Monday. The issue is always how many people can you comfortably...

Friday, February 21st   At Sea   People often enquire if there is a problem with noise from the Promenade Deck above the cabins on deck 6. Well we can certainly hear the joggers thumping above, but it is not that loud, and does not...

Thursday, February 20th, 2020   At Sea   Yes, we are back at sea again. It was a cloudy stormy day, so no sunbathing or swimming, most of the day was spent going to talks, and reading in the Commodore Club. I have no complaints.  ...

Monday, February 17th, 2020   At Sea   Packing Day   I have to change cabins in Fremantle when Ruth leaves and Brian arrives. I had tried to see if I could remain in the same cabin until New York, but someone new is moving in...

Sunday, February 16th, 2020   Yup, Still at Sea   There was still no message from guest relations regarding our plane tickets. Ruth was also getting very frustrated about the lack of information about disembarkation on Tuesday.  ...
