News from the front. Or because of the front!



Sunday 28th January 2013. Sea day.

Sleep in today, nothing to get up for. I sit with Steve and Jenny for a cuppa this morning and they’re in disembarkation planning mode. Jenny has to go straight to work from the dock when we get in. Steve says 10 nights is just about the right time and I agree, but I’m still in no hurry to return to reality. Not more than an hour later our lovely Captain announces that due to the low pressure system, which is apparently producing cyclonic weather on the Gold Coast, our return will be delayed. We will return to Sydney at 8am on 30th. ??? Has he got that right? Surely not! That’s a whole extra day! Trevor doesn’t realise – he thinks it’s only 1 hour and wonders why I’m jumping up and down. He can’t remember what day he goes back to work. Need to find out. 

Glad we took the pills last night, the sea is definitely getting bigger and according to the navigation chart up on deck, tomorrow will be bigger again. 

So many people have flights to rearrange, the phones at Reception have been made available free of charge. Anyone travelling on a P&O package will have their’s sorted by P&O. The wine tasting session we booked into after lunch has been cancelled due to a large number of cancellations, probably all waiting to use the phone! 

We’ve got a busy afternoon on, although there’s a bit of a gap now that the wine tasting is cancelled. Trivia is 4pm, then the Captain’s Club Cocktail Party for past passengers at 5.15 and we’re booked for dinner at 6pm. Maybe tomorrow will be a quiet day so I can get back into my book.
