The sea was like a mill pond when we woke. I thought we must've been hardly moving but when I checked the TV channel we were doing 30.6 knots (as fast as we can go). We went and sat outside the library to watch outside, waiting for breakfast, and we can see land quite clearly. We packed, had a lovely lunch and said goodbye to the staff we'd made friends with - Tim and Donna, our waiters (they only have 4 tables to look after), and Myriam and Andrew, the Assistan...

Another wake-up call today - the seas were rough last night and we didn't sleep well. Shannon had a 9am manicure and Jessie had a tour of the bridge and met the Captain. We had a computer lesson this morning. This afternoon's movie was "Circle of friends". Wonderful movie, but the book is much better. The weather quickly detiorated from lunchtime onwards. I was getting quite alarmed (as usual) as we passed through a storm with very rough seas and force 8 winds...

Tom and I had Danish pastries and coffee on the Lido Deck, Jess joined the kid's activities and Shannon went back to bed. This afternoon we had another computer lesson, Jess went to kid's activitie...

Neither Shannon nor Jess had brekkie today - too rough. Just before lunch Jess and I went up to the Chart Room and listened to the harpist - it was just lovely. She decided to play songs from children's movies and make Jess guess their names, characters and movie titles. Today we had a computer lesson in the ship's brand new computer lab. Considering we bought our first desktop computer just a couple of weeks ago, it's a very handy opportunity. Jess went to an ...
