That's a shame. That coconut mousse is delish!

[Rassa]

@yes!yes!yes!Are the shows OK?   Any good movies on board that we can watch in cabin or big screen?  Enjoying your info.    Is there testing for Covid going on, or was it for just day 2.   I think that was a good idea - seems the numbers of covid may be down, or it is old news because we are not hearing anything about numbers, deep cleans, or delayed embarkation.

 

@Jean CThanks for the Auckland info.   Printed it out so we can do something different.  We quite like walking around and taking in the sights (for end of January).

Will try it on the next cruise. I have to stop having the Alfredo  for starters, it's so filling

[yes!yes!yes!]

The singer tonight was excellent.  So funny and talented.  Rietta Austin. She's doing another show tomorrow  and we will definitely go watch her again

[yes!yes!yes!]

Just had the 10 in sixty show with the cruise director in explorers. I'm finding it hard to take to him. He seems so fake. Maybe he will grow on me. Shreta is my favourite  entertainment  person so far. 

Motown trivia is next.

We find most of the game shows in explorers are fun and well attended.

Majority rules was fun and then Christmas songs trivia

There are some standard questions that come with lots of controversial answers. The funny ones are usually the right ones. Usually lots of fun just trying to decide an agreed answer among your group.

Dining room for breakfast this morning.

First day I haven't had smoked salmon.

The eggs Benedict  had solid eggs.

Mums cheese omelette was good

I am not a fan of their poaching tin eggs either. They used to have garnish, which made them more visually appealing.

We only had the covid test on the 2nd sea day.

I haven't heard of anyone with covid.

I don't even know what level this ship is.

Maybe someone else knows.

You are at level 0 or level 1. At level 2, they need to communicate the elevated level to passengers.

Was that menu from Retro Night?

What a 1980s motel dining room selection. 👎👎

Honey and rum pineapple? As a starter?

No. Just no to that entire menu.

Had breakfast in the buffet today.

The bread and butter pudding was lovely.

The "biscuits" were good. I eat them with butter and jam like scones. Corned beef hash was very good. German sausages  were the sausage of the day  and very nice. Smoked salmon is the same as the dining room 

With the smoked salmon in the dining room, I saw your earlier photo. Am I correct to assume I could ask for extra smoked salmon? Thanks

Reading up in 150. It's the nightclub  late at night. Also where the elite, platinum,  suites nightly spread is held. Nice and quiet during the day. Great views over the side and the wake

Thanks for sharing! Can I please ask if you any photos showing the 150 seating for the views that overlook the wake and also the wake view? Is this venue opened anytime during day? Thanks!

[yes!yes!yes!]

I have photos of the smoked salmon in the dining room and the buffet. The buffet is in a smaller dish, but same amount , you get the bagel separately. I love smoked salmon. You can have as many as you want.

[yes!yes!yes!]

Cold and miserable outside today.

Hopefully it will clear up by 11am for Napier
