Dravuni, Fiji

This day, we stopped at the island (population 250) and only 1 mile long. Lots of good snorkeling nearby.

Glenn and I paid 10.00 each for a 30 min boat ride around the island.

The water was so so clear. Unbelievable.

We returned to the NCL Spirit for a quiet afternoon.

We’ve been meeting new friends and enjoying the SEA days ahead, before landing in Sydney Australia.Läs mer

Sea Days

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were Sea days.

We played LCR, had a
Private Philippino lunch with about 20 new friends.

And then at 5pm we met with some Australian friends where on the 2020 NCL Spirit during the beginning stages of Covid and heard their heroic stories of flying back to their home in Brisbane Australia.

We attended the 8:30 NCL cast production of Christmas Spirit with holiday songs and dances.”

Glenn has started to wear his Santa Claus Christmas hat. He also watched the World Cup final while soaking in the hot tub. Argentina won.Läs mer

For the past 24 hours, the ship has been going through some heavy seas. Swells up to 15 feet. The water is splashing out of the pool and even onto deck 7.

We’ve been eating breakfast recently in the private location of Onida and Santa Claus joined us.

We had lunch with Mary and then played LCR followed by a birthday dinner for Rick with Darla and Laura and Wayne.

Tomorrow we will arrive in Sydney, Australia.Läs mer

Lunch at Watson Bay and boat taxi
21 december 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
A delicious fish and chips. We connected up with the internet.

And then as we were leaving, we had a pleasant conversation with Emma and her friend.

They were from Melbourne. I kiddingly said that we would be there on Christmas Day. “Can we join you for Christmas Day?” I gave them my card and said we would be expecting an email. Ha.

Then we walked to the Captain Cooks Hop On and Off ferry to take us back to the main bay.

Next we knew, Emma was running up to us asking if we wanted to go on their private VIP TAXI boat? We’ll Duh? Why not!

What a blessing! They gave us a private tour on water, cranking up the music and we sang along to tunes such as “Sweet Caroline and New York, New York”.

Lesson learned- just engage people and you can be a blessing to someone and they can be a blessing to you too.Läs mer

So we’re setting breakfast in Onda up on deck 12.

I notice the president of NCL Walking thru. I asked for a selfie with him and his reply was “No, I want a selfie with you!”

We said goodbye to Darla and Rick. We’re continuing on to New Zealand with Laura and Wayne!Läs mer
