Time has just flown by (albeit on a ship!) The ordeal of Atlanta seems another age away and all but forgotten by the memorable and enjoyable events of the past fourteen days. The final sea day saw the progressive trivia draw to a conclusion. The Scrambled Eggheads (us!) were top of the pack with 150 points from seven rounds of trivia. We were hotly pursued by both EFTA and Reunion 2015, both had 138 points. Geeks@Sea had done well. We had a twenty-five point lead...

For once, the ship was right in its forecast of the weather. Roisin had a terrible night last night. You would expect by now that she (we) are used to the sea being a bit choppy!! The pitching and the rolling of the vessel is not the issue. It is the angle to which the ship is cutting through the water. This creates an uncanny crashing sound that I find difficult even to associate with water smashing in to the hull. Furthermore, the commotion accompanying the mo...

Welcome to Easter Sunday and, surprise, surprise another day at sea. If we've only just got over six days at sea, another one comes along.

Some passengers actually believed that the Spiritual leader of the Cat...

Six days at sea without sight of land is nearly at an end. There has been plenty of entertainment in the evenings to keep most people entertained. There is usually at least one game show/trivia in the evening for those who haven't had enough of the three trivia sessions during the day. One such game show that Roisin and I played was based on the TV show Jeopardy. Each team is given a grid with subjects along the top and a value ($100, $200, $300 etc..) down t...

Today we technically start on our way home. And here's us. Only just having been reunited with our suitcases!! I started the day by wearing a clean t-shirt…because I could!!We breakfasted at 06:45. I said to Roisin that we needed to turn up early in order to get a seat. Roisin seems to think I only wanted to take this early opportunity to show other guests that I actually own more than one t-shirt!! By 07:15 the breakfast room was once again standing ro...
