As yesterday, a relaxing start to the day after watching the Wake Show on TV presented by Cruise Director Karen Rogers. Very well prepared, but speaks just a little too quickly for me, so goodness knows how those where English is a second language cope.
Up then for a grazing type breakfast, but still no decent bacon.
We decided to grab a book each and head out on deck for a while, but our cabin steward was well into a cabin refresh so I told him about the duff USB ports. A few hours later, the electrician arrived and fixed it. Well done guys!
Out on deck it was calm and sunny and although there was a little ship movement, hardly noticeable other than the pool developing a swell, so after the trivia, we went to a Jive class, run by the ship’s dance captain, Luke. Pretty good and well taught.
A late lunch and relaxed in the cabin before getting dressed up for formal night #1.
Unlike all previous formal nights, there was no atrium champagne waterfall, no captain’s address or Captain’s Circle meet, so effectively, a non-event. Many seem to think that although our cruise started in Auckland, they are treating it as a Brisbane – Brisbane cruise and we (Kiwis) are just there to make up the numbers.
At dinner, just one other couple on a table for 4. No lobster option, so beef Wellington - which was superb.
Late production show – ‘Motor City’. They seem to have rather a large cast. Four singers, 4 male dancers and we think, six female. Mainly Tamla Motown tunes. Not too sure why, but the orchestra has no trumpet player.
We then headed for the hypnotist down in the Universe lounge at the rear of the ship, but not the best we have seen, so only a 7/10.
Once again, clocks back 1 hour to put us on Brisbane time.
