Quote of the day: “I know there have been a lot of rumours going around about the technical problems with the ship and the possible effect of these on the cruise. None of these is true. The cruise will continue as scheduled. Only believe what you hear from the bridge.” Captain of the Dawn Princess
The captain broke his silence today with the above, thereby slowing the wonderful rumour mill that has been flourishing since Dubai. We’ve heard some great theories, ranging from technical experts joining the ship in Port Said, to the whole cruise being abandoned, and everyone being flown back home… we continue to sip our lattes and nod sympathetically.
It’s been a great topic of conversation, especially with the worrywarts amongst us – and believe me, there are a lot of those. I shall miss the rumours… but there is hope, as one of the people on our dinner table has promised to start some new ones...
We continue our trek through the Red Sea. Temperatures have dropped, so it was a lovely balmy evening watching the movie on the big screen out on the deck. The entertainment is flagging a little though, as the new entertainers due to board at Safaga now won’t join the ship until Port Said, which is still 3 days away.
JB has been pounding the decks in the early mornings, but I just haven’t got the energy first thing…I’ve settled into a pattern of hitting the gym mid-afternoon, which works up an appetite for dinner… ah, that wonderful food again!
