As we are cruising the Mediterranean Sea all day today, on our way to Malta, I thought I’d share my full day at sea. The temperature is a cool 26C with calm seas and blue skies (not even a wisp of cloud can be seen).
My day begins with a double shot cappuccino ☕️in order to jump start my navigation system (brain) to dock my expanding vessel at the breakfast buffet. #smokesalmon🌟
Finding your way to your cabin can be a challenge 🍸 (port or starboard?) but if you have a great travel agent, like Cindy at travelbestbets, she will purchase balloons to be placed outside your door. Surprisingly your fellow passengers will use your 🎈as a beacon too!! “Dear, its this side I see the balloons!”
The daily port lectures given by Tom are 40 mins long and jam backed with information, pictures, anecdotes and great tips to maximize your site visits. As well as being a wonderful resource he is highly entertaining too!
Lunch time is usually shore/tour time (food E & E: experiment & experience) but today Captain Zola has invited us (plus 280 strangers) to join him for a private Mariner’s luncheon. Jessi has decided to skip lunch as she would rather work on her tan. 👩🏻🦰👩🏾🦰 #seafaringclass
Today’s ship tour included a flower arranging demonstration, courtesy of Eric, the lone florist. He made a stunning arrangement entitled, “flock of flowers going nowhere” using bird of paradise, sunflowers, orchids, and braided palm branches.
Bingo @ 4pm has a life of its own (time waster) while you are dabbing and chanting “B4 not after, G55 snakes alive, etc.” What a let down when you need just one number and someone else yells BINGO first! 😣 #jessi❤️thisgame
Every night the showroom presents two live productions with excellent singers, dancers, instrumentalists, and comedians. I wonder if our Capilano Choir could get a gig on a sea worthy vessel? 🛳 or 🛶
At bedtime you never know what towel art (beady eyed animal) your cabin stewards, Yaya and Teddy, will leave on your bed. A piece of dark chocolate will ensure you have sweet dreams!😴
May you always have smooth sailing and free laundry and internet services when you cruise💸
