DAY 34 at sea

Must say after our day in Goa yesterday in the extreme heat it is nice to be back on our air-conditioned and extremely comfortable ‘home’.  We have a saying when we reboard the ship and ‘ding’ and Seapass cards through the machine….. ‘hello we’re home’ and the crew say ‘welcome home….the dinner is underway’…..lol.

We intend to have an easy day today.  I woke up this morning and didn’t have a voice…. You should see the smile of Roys face…..lol.  I’ve not got a sore throat or cold, just no voice.  We have our sports challenge happening later this morning, then this afternoon we have the ice show with some new acts, and, of course Trivia which is now at 4.30pm a perfect time of day to have a drink whilst at Trivia…..our team thinks it’s helping us with our answers. J

The 3D movies are now being held in La Scala theatre and apparently are a great success. We’ve not had a chance to go yet….not enough hours in our day.

Anyone who is booked, or thinking of booking will enjoy this ship for the huge variety of activities they offer.  I think that is the bonus of cruising on a ship and ‘huge’ as this ship is.

For those who may have booked a balcony on deck 6, which is where our cabin is on this leg, I will point out that the balcony has a solid steel facing with approximately a 300mm open space to the hand rail.  On our previous decks 8 and 9 they had a glass facing. However, we can still see the ocean when we are sitting up in bed and from the deck chairs on the balcony itself.

The show tonight was a Mentalist, something we’ve never seen before. He was bending spoons, reading volunteers minds, and other quite unusual stuff.  It was a first to have something like that on the ship apparently. Must say he was very good, clever, or quick, whichever way you want to look at it. Everyone enjoyed his show, and he received a standing ovation.

Tomorrow, Cochin, India and it’s still steamy hot.
