Day 2 At Sea

A brilliant nights sleep for us both last night and a steady start to today. A lovely sunny day as we cruised up towards Norway, Quite deceptive, the breeze was fresh, well when I say fresh I think it was likely enough to make the shorts I’ve brought with me redundant and the jumpers may well be on overtime !!

We went upstairs for breakfast, cake was involved obviously. It was very busy but we still managed to get seated ok. Had a wander down to the atrium which is midship. I ordered myself a mug and a water bottle - I was waiting to come in here to do it as the mugs are a nice size. Pictures of both my classic cars on them !! We then wandered out and sat at the back of the ship, it was quite warm when the sun wasn’t behind a cloud, but that was a tad intermittent!!

We did very little this afternoon, nodded in and out consciousness whilst watching a bit of TV before wandering back to the Atrium to watch a circus act. Was actually quite funny. There does appear to be a larger number of children on here than normal, hence the no hot tub use as yet. Formal night tonight do normally around 5pm the decks are clear, not today !! So we headed down to the theatre to watch Rock Opera. Everything’s a bit different, the theatre would usually be packed, it was very quiet. The show though. Brilliant. I’m not normally one for the shows but it was very very good.

Slipped up to the back of the ship for a tea and a cake before attempting the hot tub as you do, success on both counts. Sat in the hot tub as the sun went down, Mamma Mia came on the big screen, half watched it but had a good ole sing a long. But eebejeesus when we got out of the hot tub, dark, north heading and getting out of a tub of hot water - was bloody Baltic !! So down to the room, quick change and back out for a late dinner / supper.

A great relaxing day, just back at the room having a cuppa and some chocolate, patio doors open listening to the sea as we sail on towards our first dock tomorrow.Read more
