A leisurely wake up, but apparently I was snoring a bit last night, so the swig of port didn’t send me into a deep sleep at all…
As the first sea day after a load of Dawn Nomads joined us in Venice, a meet and greet was on the cards. With an early lunch at 12:00 also planned, there was no point in overdoing breakfast. We spent a bit of time on deck with Garry and Joanne, discussing our plans for 2014.
We dived into trivia – and out again without winning, then straight to the meet and greet at 11:00am, which was very successful, with about 88 attending. Ros presented Sharon and David with a bouquet to celebrate their 50 years of marriage on Saturday. The standing joke is – if they make it that long…
Straight after, the lunch, with 92 people, 4 having either been at choir practice or skipped the meet.
Mid-afternoon, we attacked the atrium for a coffee and a mango juice. Paula definitely on the mend now – unless climbing stairs, so we chickened out and used the lifts again today.
Afternoon quiz was 14 – not enough to win.
We returned to the Vista for the 6:15pm show, featuring Mel Mellers, comedy magician, then singer Paul Emmanuel, (from Nottingham?). The comedy magic was quite good and he had a good line in put down patter with the audience, which I like. Probably a respectable 7/10. It is difficult for me to rate singers but Paul seemed OK to me, so again, a 7/10.
We stayed on for a James Bond quiz. A bit tough and we managed 7.5 – but the winners didn’t get many more.
At dinner, there was another round of hilarity as Megan hadn’t seen Jude’s “beach boy” picture. It is not likely to be shown on a blog either…
We skipped the late show and bed was a respectable time, ready for Mykonos tomorrow, our last Greek stop. Since 2011, they have built up a cruise terminal so it is no longer a tender port. Princess have arranged a bus to town (at a cost of course).
