This morning the ocean is so flat and calm. It's like the sea is thick oil no white water even from the wash. As the sun pierces the clouds it creates glimmering streaks on the water.
The gym is very busy this morning so Glenn joins me on level 7 to walk on the outer deck.The Island princess was in dry dock last year and they added extra cabins at the back of the ship so its no longer possible to do a lap of the outer deck as such. You either cut through the inside past the lifts and back up the other side or retrace your steps.
We go to the restaurant for breakfast this morning and sit with a couple from Palm Springs California and a couple from Ararat in Victoria.
We attended the very moving Anzac Service that was held in the Explorer lounge. There are just over 200 Aussies on board and a few New Zealanders. The Assistant Cruise Director is Australian and his father served in the Army so he has a connection with the ANZAC tradition and what it means. We have a live bugler from the Island Princess band and he gives you goosebumps when he plays the Last Post. We were told late that he was very very nervous playing that morning.
To finish off the service they serve sausage rolls (hot dogs in pastry) and ANZAC biscuits especially prepared for the occasion.
The rest of the day we spend on the deck and in our room watching movies.
Once again we go to happy hour in the Wheelhouse bar, the early show and dinner at 7.45pm.
Looking forward to getting off the ship tomorrow back in Aruba.
