There was just one other person in the aromatherapy steam room, who when he left, struggled to get out the door, he seemed to have to really force it. As he did I noticed a button beside the door which looked like the door release that he hadn't pressed which is why he struggled. So when I left I pressed the button and the door opened ok. However, 30 seconds later one of the spa ladies came in asking if I was ok. It turned out it wasn't a door release but the emergency alarm. They didn't seem too happy, so I blamed it on the subdued lighting and my contract lenses.

    In the evening after dinner they had a Beatles night in the atrium. Which went down very well, as for most of the people on the boat this was their teenage music. When asked why I wasn't dancing given all these older people where up there shaking their stuff, I said well obviously that's because they've all got new hips.
