Today
is a welcome sea day. With
an additional hour of sleep last night we were up at a reasonable hour.
There was a new guest lecturer on board whose first talk we wanted to
see, but it wasn’t until 11:00 so I took the opportunity to finish up
yesterday’s blog post. It was soon time
to leave so Val and I headed to the showroom to hear a talk on women pirates. It was a very interesting talk and the new
lecturer is very good, he is both entertaining and able to cover his topic very
well.
By the
time the lecture ended it was time for lunch so we headed up to the Lido. After lunch, Val was off to her team trivia
and I went back to the room to go online and pay a couple of bills that were
due and check our bank accounts to make sure that nobody had emptied them while
we were gone. :-)
Barbara,
the location guide was giving a talk on our upcoming ports at two so I left
early to save some seats and Val would meet me in the showroom after her
trivia. After the port presentation, we
were scheduled to have our passports stamped by British Immigration who were on-board as two of our next three ports are in the UK. For some reason there was an announcement for everyone who hadn't seen immigration to due it immediately so we had to leave the showroom. Luckily for us, the showroom was close to
where immigration was so we were done in a few minutes and back to the talk in less
than ten minutes.
After
the lecture it was back to the room for reading and relaxing before dinner. One thing we noticed today was the number of
ships we passed. We must be in the
freight shipping lanes as we saw more ships at sea today than we’ve seen in all
our other cruises combined. Before
dinner, we once again went to the evening team trivia in the MIX Lounge, but
didn’t win tonight. After dinner and the
casino we called it a night and returned to our room. Tomorrow we will be arriving in Dublin,
Ireland.
