It was the first of our two World Cruisers lunches today. Lots of good food with (P&O) champagne to start and quite a bit of red wine too.

Apparently there was a meeting about the itinerary changes this morning, but I'm not sure what they think they'll achieve. But I bet there's someone on board whose only reason for the cruise is to visit Bora Bora, Napier and Wellington! I sat on the Terrace Deck, in the Pacific sunshine, on my way to Tahiti, thinking 'it doesn't get better than this'.

I saw my second Headliners show tonight, way better than the first. Rumour has it that Des O'Connor joins the ship in Sydney. We have a chocolate on the pillow every night. I've been very good so far and only eaten two during the whole cruise.
