Saturday, Oct 5: We
did just as planned today - Relaxed, read, scrapbooked, ate, walked, enjoyed
live music, etc. Today they collected our passports and they will hold them
until Oct. 12. They collected both our New Zealand Visas and Australian Visas
the day we boarded. A very relaxing day as we make our way to Bora Bora.

Sunday, Oct 6: Today
was almost a repeat of yesterday but we woke to a lovely rainbow. We did all
the things we did yesterday, plus an extra "Movie Under the Stars" -
they even put cushions on the lounges and it's warm out this evening. Check out the cello, I bet Miranda would like
one like that!

Monday, Oct 7: Clear
skies this morning, more movement on the ship because we are going faster (I
think).There are tons of lectures and other events today but we didn't go to
any of them. We tried but the truth is this ship is very crowded, or seems so. The
public places are not well-planned. They have interesting events in the Piazza
but it is such a tiny area it is quite oppressive to even get in there.
Recalling the RC Harmony with 6K passengers didn't seem at all crowded. I guess
having a more modern design helps a lot.
I wanted to get busy on my England album, maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, I
am keeping current on my cruise album!
It was formal night, no lobster and we even got dressed up this time!
Hahaha They did have a nice palate cleanser of strawberry sorbet, which was a
nice touch. The food has been very good for the most part. Tonight was a
production show. We were determined to make it this time. We went an hour early,
45 minutes before the show it was full. Since this is an older crowd, you would
think they would adjust the timing. Have the early show at the first
traditional dinner time and the second at the second. Having the second show at
9:45p doesn't work out, people grumble. After the long wait to see the show it
was disappointing. A sort of techo show with only a couple songs we recognized.
The talent level seemed "high school-like" at best. I will say the itinerary, food, and lectures
we have gone to are very good.
