I woke up quite early and realised there was lights outside ...... only took a minute for me to be fully awake once my brain worked out that we were coming into New York City. I jumped up and got out on the balcony just in time to see Lady Liberty all lit up looking gorgeous. Of course there was no going back to sleep so I popped a teabag into the coffee pot and started that brewing while I hopped in the shower. Poor Rodd, he has no hope of sleeping when I'm ...

25th - 3rd sea day. There's not a lot I can say about the sea days... We get up when we like and wander around, going to the buffet when we're hungry, finding a bar when we want a drink and finding entertainment along the way. This morning we had a cuppa at the buffet then headed down to guest services to ask about the 2 charges to our account for $42.48 from the Grand Pacific dining room where we'd had dinner last night. I don't know what made ...

Fortunately we are heading south and this storm is heading north so within a day we should be out from under the effects... As it turned out this storm dumped a bucket loa...

We had asked reception to order a cab for 9.45 as I had selected the 10 to 10.30 checkin time for our cruise. We were awake well before the alarm went off....as usual! Cooked the last of the eggs and tomatoes, did the last check of power points, cupboards etc to make sure we hadn't missed anything and were just about to head out the door to check out when the phone rang to say our car was here.... What! He's early, it's only 9.30! Turns out she'd ...
