Voyager Cruise day 1

The ship is sooo luxurious (way over the top) the cabins are big with a huge walk in wardrobe and an incredible ensuite with shower and bath. Our cabin is on the second highest floor of the passenger floors. Pretty good upgrade. The sea is calm with no rocking of the boat whatsoever. The only way you can tell you’re on a ship is the slight shuddering every now and then.

We are going to put on a lot of weight on this cruise all the food is first class and we haven’t visited their top restaurants yet. We are trying to walk up and down the stairs as much as possible.

We both feel a little out of place.

We have met a large number of very, very rich Americans mostly from Texas. How does that saying go.

I was down having a smoke in the Connoisseur Lounge, which is for cigar and pipe smokers, after dinner last night and the Captain of the ship joined us. We talked and drank for a couple of hours with all sorts of people joining in. That was fun he was a nice bloke. He is an Italian who married a Kiwi and while in his 50’s has a 2 year old daughter.

Just back from our tour of Visby. Lovely old city, it’s a shame we didn’t have longer. The tour guide was very good, just the right mix of knowledge and humour.
