Day 44 – Sunday 23rd
February 2014 – At Sea
As it is a
Sunday after the gym, I go into the Lido for breakfast, the big help your self
restaurant on deck 9, this is normally well populated at any time of the day.
Normally,
Cristina the cabin stewardess does our cabin around lunchtime and I take myself
off to one of the deck 3 loungers with a book and relax for an hour.
Dance lesson
for the first time was the slow foxtrot, cannot quite get the hang of this one,
time will tell, if I can master it.
It is a very
pleasant afternoon and spent time building up the bronzy, there never seems to
be many on the open deck in the late afternoon, maybe most are having a sleep
or staying on their cabin balconies.
It is
another formal night for the world cruisers, Captain’s cocktail party to meet
his senior officers. Mixed with the
Engineers again, the Deputy Chief, and two 3rd Engineers, one of
which is a lady, who has also sailed on the tall ships, Stavros and
Tenacious. The information I got from
the Deputy Chief on how sophisticated and reliable the computer control systems
are within the engine room was mind blowing.
A very special
night, as myself and Colin, having been invited onto the Chief Engineer’s
(Jason Turnbull) dining table, which was also co-hosted by the Technical Procurement
Officer (Paul Edwards). Five other
guests were also invited to the table. I
thoroughly enjoyed the meal of Thai fish cakes/lamb/soufflé and the
conversation and companions were excellent.
Finished off
in the Golden Lion for the Karaoke session, this is always a lot of fun, and at
this time of the night, nobody really cares if the performers are good or bad.
I went off
to bed after another different, but very enjoyable day.
