27 Aug 2014: @Sea

Still at sea and thank goodness plain sailing so far.Has been raining on and off. Well last night just before we got into bed there was a code Bravo call, that had my hubby flying into his clothes in a few seconds!! That means a fire on board and is the most dangerous situation on a ship at sea. Luckily they got it under control quickly, so very thankful for that.

So can’t complain about a boring life here!! Always something on the go. Something to get use to is being in the gym on the running machine and the ship is rolling from side to side, a weird feeling but you get use to it. Jy klou maar en hou aan hol!

Had breakfast late this morning only to hear that the medical team are off to eat sushi again today but had to give it a skip, to full from my late breakfast!! Also attended a talk where the ships cruise director, hotel director and chefs tell the passengers about their work and you can ask them questions about ship life and how they do everything, was very interesting. One passenger wanted to know what the code Bravo meant! Think it is better when you don’t know everything.

Chef said they have their drama behind the scenes like when they order their food 21 days before a cruise only to discover that the bacon was not delivered. Then you pull out all the stops and have to make plans to get it before the ship leaves. Stressful times or should I say drama, behind the scenes.

Got started with my bead work, so that kept me busy this afternoon. Overheard a couple at lunch time arguing about their on board account, so that sounded like trouble! Think with being at sea an extra day, you will spend more on the ship than usual, have to come up for the poor lady!!

Did not get our room pantry stocked with our sweet things before we left Bermuda so can’t wait for Boston. Was pouring with rain and the wind was blowing, so decided against going out to get stuff. Hubby informed me that we did sidestep the storm, so was glad to hear that. Well until next time, bye
