Quote of the day: “My friend and I have been cruising on different cruises for 8 months now. After 6 months we got back to Sydney. I went back home for the day, unpacked the thin clothes, and packed the fat clothes for the rest of the trip.” Lady at breakfast tucking into an enormous meal.
Another day at sea: dolphins off the port side. Looking brighter but still not sunbathing weather…
For the cynics who think a sea day would be as boring as hell, mine goes something like this:
0700 Wake up and go for a deck walk, or hit the treadmill if the weather’s bad.
0800 Breakfast in the restaurant. Great time to socialize, over a delicious omelet.
0900 Down to the patisserie for my cappuccino fix, a crossword and a quiet read.
Plan out the rest of the day using the onboard newsletter.
1030 A lecture of some kind, either about a port we’ll be visiting, or a history topic.
1200 Lunch sometime in the next hour or so. Usually at the buffet (“the trough”) to avoid overeating in the main restaurant.
1300 Siesta. Maybe get the washing done, start the blog, snooze…
1430 Movie, another cappuccino, deck wander, read, email, whatever’s going on.
1600 Gym… great way to work up an appetite.
1730 Dinner – finest meal of the day – just superb!
1900 Finish blog and upload, check news and emails etc.
2000 Live show in the main theatre – usually quite good so will probably stay…
2130 Live show in the Lounge – music or comedy – variable standard so give it the “10 minute test”, and may not stay!
2230 Bed time. Try to figure out where the hell the day went as I drift off to sleep! Plan to do something useful tomorrow, like a writing project. But probably won’t…
