Stateroom B729

 Our inside cabin is located at the back of Deck 11.   We are very pleased about its position and so far we certainly have no noise or vibration to complain about.

The other bonus is how close it is to walk out onto our communal balcony.  As you have seen from my previous posts, we have spent many an afternoon out there....

Our cabin may be small but it is comfortable... Everything has its place and if we keep to that it stays nice and tidy.  Showers are a little small and our biggest challenge is ensuring that the curtain stays inside the lip otherwise we have a bath on the bathroom floor.  

Plenty of light comes in from under the door so there is no need to leave anything on during the night. And thankfully there is no sensor light in the walk-in wardrobe.

Out and About the ship

Just thought I would post some random pictures from around the ship...

Ground Hog Day Mark III … 101 days to go

At 2 am last night our clocks went back one hour and will continue to do so over the next couple of days…. So when I woke up at 7am it was really 6am… Feeling rather guilty that everyone else was exercising except for me…. I sprung out of bed to walk the laps around Deck 7.  Busier than Pitt Street Mall on a Saturday morning, it seems everyone else had the same idea!

Still lots of activities going on, the only one I can report about is the Officers vs the guests partaking in a game of Giant Jenga.  Having lost the previous day, today the Officers were triumphant despite the gallant effort from the guests.

Things were getting tense as the tower grew higher

Lots of contemplating going on and hoping that the Captain is keeping ship steady.

Today also marked the first of what I hope to be one of many swims.  We chose to debut this in the undercover lotus pool… Not heated but still a very pleasant temperature.

Afternoon drinks under the newly repair lights..

In the evening there was the Oceania deck party. Resident band Seascape teamed up with the Princess orchestra and played a great range of hits that we of our generation know and love.
