More Musings Around the ship – Meet & Greets

Since we had our first Cruise Critic Meet & Greet, we have had two more, one after Dubai and the other after Dover. 

As I wasn’t expecting a lot of people after our Dubai one, I didn’t ask the officers to come, but it was so nice to see that they turned up anyway….

At this Meet and Greet we passed the microphone around and everyone introduced themselves

And once again they were there in full force for our Dover Meet and Greet.  The staff have been fabulous on this trip and very accommodating. 

Aaron the Cruise Director is one of the best we have had. As we have lost our Entertainment Director Kelvin in Dover and Princess could not get a replacement for him, Aaron has really stepped up and taken on both roles.

Luckily we had the Cruise Critic meet and greet today, otherwise, I would have nothing new to write about.  Enjoying our usual routine, wake up, walk, breakfast, blog, coffee and that is all before 10 am. 

But next for us was the Cruise Critic meet and greet, smaller than previous years, but very comfortable.  About 80 members turned up in the Wheelhouse Bar and it was lovely to see all the familiar faces along with any new ones.

Aaron the Cruise Director did a fantastic job introducing the large contingent of Officers that turned up to acknowledge our group.  Many people lingered afterward before we all went our separate ways to enjoy lunch.

The card room is now becoming busier and busier, so it is a case of finding somewhere different to play cards. The Bordeaux dining is the popular alternative venue and if you can’t stay there heading to the horizon court is a good solution…  Unfortunately, the temptation becomes too great when afternoon tea is served and the smell of freshly cooked waffles is too hard to resist.

In the evening we enjoyed the production show, “On The Bayou”, which capped off another wonderful day on the beautiful Coral Princess.
