Day 8 – Friday 17th
January 2014 – At Sea
Somebody’s
prays have been answered, the wind and seas have gone down and we going for it,
at our maximum speed of 23/24 knots, this is the fasted for me on any ship, I
have sailed on before. The downside of this
for Cunard, at this speed, the ship will be consuming 250 tons of fuel in 24
hours.
The morning
gym exercises were followed by a tour of the Britannia Restaurant galley, a
look around behind the scenes. A short
but informative tour and all of the chefs were very happy to answer any of our
questions.
Today’s
dance session was the quick step, amazingly, I got the hang of this one and
managed two laps of the dance floor before being told to stop.
Lunch in
Weatherspoon’s, cheese pasty and a pint, I must be cutting down.
Dress code for tonight is informal and the special evening cocktail is Pimms No.1 not quite to my liking but we got it down, preferred the canapés.
Theatre entertainment was London Palladium night with a take-off of the stars who had appeared there. I was really impressed
with costumes and dance routines, it really is very, very professional and I have
not spotted a step out of place.
After the
show we had already made the decision, no night caps, and went off to our beds
knowing an early start in the morning for arrival in New York.
