DAY 27 day
3 of 6 days at Sea
Another
beautiful and warm morning again. Progressive Trivia no:3 wasn’t so good for us
today, we got a miserable 11 out of 20. So often we debate between two answers,
one of which ends up being correct but we end up putting down the wrong
one…..darn.
The Captain
has quite a sense of humour. In his
report this morning he was apologizing for all the security on board but also
explaining that of course safety is paramount on the ship. Then he finishes by saying with all these
dark and romantic settings around the ship after dusk…… he’ll be interested to
see the results in 9 months time…… J
Unfortunately he also disembarks in Dubai so we were told. He’s been very informative and thorough with
his reports from the Bridge.
It’s so hot
outside this afternoon our Olympic challenge has been relocated to an indoor
sport…..cards. We think we’ll have to have the outdoor pursuits in the morning
before it gets too hot. Apparently the
temperature expected when we reach Dubai will be in the mid 40’s…….eeek. I think I can handle that if Roy keeps me
inside the Gold Souqs where it’s cool and he has his credit card in his hot
little hand……lol.
As always
we have heard from the ‘moaners’ on board, and there’s always plenty, don’t
know why they bother going on holiday in the first place because nothing seems
to please them.
If I worked
on a cruise ship I’d write a book, I’m sure it would be a best seller. Jimmy
the Cruise Director has ‘the’ list of stupid questions the guests ask. One I remember was “I’ve had my photo taken
at dinner on the Formal nights but now the photos have been removed from the
display and are in piles. How I will
know which one is mine now that I want to buy one?”
We finished
our Formal night off tonight with a couple of after dinner drinks at the Pig
and Whistle which is always packed. If we don’t get a seat inside there’s
always plenty outside on the ‘street’, the Royal Promenade. Robbie McNay the resident entertainer is
excellent. He’s on the ship until
November for those who may be on this ship between now and then. He’s fun and plays great music.
At sea tomorrow.
