I went to the movies today. At 9:00. In the morning! They put on a different movie daily in the Playhouse. It usually shows five or six times a day. Today it was only shown three times. I saw Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Complete hokum, but I enjoyed it. We crossed the equator today at 2:45 am and custom dictates that we need Neptune’s permission. This was sought and the Crossing the Line ceremony took place by the Terrace Pool this afternoon. Per...

Another lazy sea day. After a mile and some reading on the Promenade Deck, I went to another of Nigel Marven’s talks. This time on Brazilian wildlife. As Barbara and I were chatting afterwards, Rob and Linda found us, so we went to lunch with them. The Headliners put on a matinee show called ‘New Romantics’ which was about 1980’s music. I’d never seen it before and enjoyed it. Our third formal night tonight and the boys all wore white DJ...

Fairly quiet day today. Rob and I went to Nigel Marvens’ talk on penguins. The pair of us plus Linda and Barbara then had lunch. Barbara and I sat on the Promenade Deck reading for the afternoon. I couldn’t be arsed to trek upstairs for quoits. In case you think I’m not getting any exercise, I do walk a mile after breakfast. We went to see Beautiful Dream, a Take That tribute in the theatre after dinner. They were OK. We couldn’t face the ‘Br...

My second visit to St Vincent. The six of us took the shuttle bus into the town. We wandered past the market to a cafe where we had coffee and a pastel (egg custard tart). We made good use of the free Wi-Fi. After a quick visit to a museum, who’s name I forget, dedicated to a singer, who’s name I also forget(!), Linda & Rob went back to the ship, while the rest of us hit a supermercado for crisps, as I was undergoing cold turkey. Phil & Yvonne th...

A glorious sunny day. After breakfast and a mile, Barbara and I sat out on the Promenade Deck, reading and crosswording. I then went to the lecture in the Curzon Theatre, about Concorde, Jumbos and Air Travel Today. Rob and Linda came too. After lunch, Rob and I had our first wine flight in the Glasshouse. He bought the flight, I bought the cheese. It’ll be vice versa next time. Since our last cruise, they’ve also introduced gin flights in Anderson’s...
