Quote of the day: “My cabin got flooded in the middle of the night. They’ve had blowers going for hours. I ended up sleeping with my head under the pillow to block out the noise.”
Bonus quote: “I thought we were sinking, and the water was already up to the 10th floor.”
The occupants of 22 cabins awoke during the night to find water in their cabins. Apparently there had been a burst water main, and the water flowed down the corridor and into the cabins. So most had to evacuate and spend the rest of the night and through the day roaming the lounges and eateries.
I ran into several sleep-deprived people in the course of the day. And to make matters worse, the outside temperature was only 16°C by mid-afternoon, so they couldn’t even doze off out on the deck in a deck chair…
Last night was dinner in the Steakhouse with J and M, my table companions for the last few weeks. We had a wonderful meal, great atmosphere, and even got to see a pod of whales performing… just as I’d been complaining I hadn’t yet seen a whale on this trip. Unfortunately, these lovely people get off tomorrow in LA, so I’ll be very interested to see who replaces them. I’ve had a couple of offers to join other tables, but for better or worse, will let fate take it’s course…
