We left port about 6:00 p.m. & headed out to sea. We couldn't believe how calm the water was. When we woke up this morning, it was a little choppier, but nothing to make the ship rock. We've been so lucky with both the weather & the calm seas. My cough was worse in spite of taking the antibiotics, so I took it easy. Teena, Brian & I went to see the head chef of the ship do a cooking demonstration & then got a peek at just one of the 9 galleys on t...

We woke up this morning to one of the most beautiful sunrises ever—there were just enough clouds to make the rays of the sun change colors, mountains along the water and extremely calm seas…and even Teena got to see it!! (She likes to sleep a little later than the rest of us). We enjoyed watching the ship dock in Corfu and she & I decided this is our favorite place so far. The island is very green, the houses aren't cookie-cutter & stacked on ...

Watching our ship dock this morning was very interesting, as it looked like we were stuck from our perspective! The ship was churning up sand & you couldn't see the dock from our side but all was well. We had a late docking this morning, arriving at 8:00 a.m. but the good news was that we were the only cruise ship in port (at that time--2 others arrived about 1:00 p.m.) We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and then set out to visit the port city of Katakolon. K...

Woke up this morning to see that we had already docked & the view was spectacular of the sea & mountains around us. I got to watch a Norwegian Cruise ship sail in & dock, which is really something to see because they are so huge! We found out that our steward, Allan, is leaving us today & we're all sad to see him go because he has been wonderful. We had to catch a shuttle bus to the Port Terminal & then we walked for about 1.5 miles to catch...

It's so easy to lose track of days when you're at sea & on vacation! Since we didn't have an excursion planned for today, we all met for breakfast in one of the formal dining rooms & ordered our food vs. going thru the buffet lines. One thing we learned about this is that the formal dining room closes at 9:00 a.m. Who knew? We all thought this was early to close, especially since even McDonald's serves until 10:30 a.m. LOL We decided to head into town &...
