Safaga
9. maj 2012, Egypten ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Forget the title, I can't tell you anything about Safaga except it's an industrial port with nothing at all to see...
The cruise lines all dock here just so they can sell their tours to Luxor etc.
Sharm el Sheik would be a much better option especially for the people who don't want to do tours....
That's the daily moan over...lol. except to say I'm never drinking again, hmmm!!
Where have I heard that before...LOL
We now have 6 days at sea, which I'm looking forward to, I love sea days, to me the travelling is just as important as the destination...
Having said that this destination is Dubai, and I'm really looking forward to that.
Sue, who lives there tells me I'll be gobsmacked when I see it....can't wait.Læs mere

Pirate drill
9. maj 2012, Red Sea ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We did our emergency pirate drill yesterday morning and if any pirates do get on board they will have easy pickings.
The drill consisted of the captain announcing "Operation Safe Haven" over the tannoy and then all passengers who were out of their cabins had to congregate in the centre of the ship, those passengers in inside cabins were to stay in the cabin and those who were in outside cabins had to go into the corridor and we all had to wait for the announcement for the end of the drill, that was the whole emergency drill.
I think the idea was that the pirates would be able to find us all very easily.
Thus not getting pissed off having to search for us..good thinking RCCL..Lol
I did suggest the diamond passengers would be safer in the diamond lounge, as I'm certain the pirates wouldn't have gold cards to get in there...strangely no one agreed!!
On a more serious note we are taking more security equipment and personnel on board today.
So obviously they are taking the threat quite seriously... I'll keep you informed....Læs mere

Drinking in the dark!
10. maj 2012, Red Sea ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Bruce Springsteen sang about dancing in the dark.
I wish he'd written Drinking in the dark.
Because that was what we had to do last night in the Viking Crown lounge, the captain said it was so the pirates could not see us, but with all the other lights on the ship that could be seen and all the other ships in the area with lights blazing, I think it was a waste of time.
Nobody could see each other, in fact there was a meet the captain and his officers next door in the 19th hole bar for suite guests well we went and that was another waste of time as it seemed even darker in there.
While I'm in moaning mode, I'll mention the complete refit the ship seems to be having during this cruise, decks are being replaced carpets are being fitted the ship resembles a building site at times.
We did receive an email before we sailed telling us that 2 shops on the Royal Promenade would be closed for refurbishment but nothing about all this other work.
I'm afraid Adam (Goldstein RCCL CEO) will be getting quite a few emails from passengers on this cruise, obviously me included....you will be kept informed...lol....Læs mere

What, no pirates?
11. maj 2012 ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Well we've left the Red Sea far behind and are through the Gulf of Aden and still no pirates....it's either the military escort we have or leaving the lights out in the Viking Crown lounge that's doing the trick.
I know which one my money is on...LOL.
But we are still informed that it will be romantic lighting once again upstairs tonight, romantic ! It's to bloody dark to see anyone to be romantic with, unless maybe if you are bi-sexual then it wouldn't matter who you found in the dark.....!!
Anyway the weather is still fantastic and we're all looking forward to Dubai....Læs mere

The heat ! The damned heat!
12. maj 2012, Arabian Sea ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
That'll teach me, thought I'd grab some sun while I was waiting for the girls to come up to the solarium yesterday morning....Big mistake !
I ended up dehydrated and getting a bit of sunstroke, so I can't tell you anything about last night as I went to bed at 7pm and have just crawled out of the sweat sodden pit at 5am.
I must admit I feel a bit better, we'll see how the day goes....God knows what I'm going to do in Dubai, as it's even hotter there.......Læs mere

Port Rashid Dubai
13. maj 2012, Forenede Arabiske Emirater ⋅ ☀️ 40 °C
Well here we are on the last day of the cruise.
It's been a nice one, except for a few hiccups, which, I'm coming to expect with RCCL.
Standards seem to be slipping every trip we take, not with everything or everyone, just little things where they don't go that extra yard.
I don't let it spoil my trips but, there will be a "letter to Adam" after the trip to go with the email I've already sent. I won't be the only one writing judging by the comments I've heard and conversations I've had.
Anyway, still got 4 days in Dubai to look forward to.
From what people are saying it's an amazing place.....can't wait.....Læs mere

Dubai is bloody hot!!
15. maj 2012, Forenede Arabiske Emirater ⋅ ☀️ 41 °C
The title says it all....lol
Not quite it's also quite brilliant.
We are staying in Bur Dubai, the old part of town right by the creek.
The hotel is great lovely clean and friendly.
We did all the touristy stuff, except Sheila missed going up the Birj Khalifa because she was ill.
She missed a brilliant experience.
We all agreed that we'd love to go back sometime...Læs mere
