For the last sunset of the cruise, Dad and I went out the back of the ship and shared a couple of whiskys. There’s something special about that last sunset – you don’t want to waste a second of it – watching the water rush by and knowing that tomorrow you’ll be back on dry land again.
On our last day of the cruise, Lilly was in a concert performed by the kids club.
The staff at “Turtle Cove” and “Shark Shack” are lovely.
Here’s Lilly struttin’ her stuff at the concert.
Captain Draper was very keen to meet Dad / Bruce when he found out he'd worked on the
original Oriana.
The captain invited us to a special cocktail party and reserved a table for us right at the front.
Bruce couldn't beleive his eyes when he saw all the free grog that the captain laid on for us.
Captain Tony Draper is a lovely man, and very hospitable. We really have enjoyed our time
under his care.
Oh – by the way, I succumbed to temptation and sang at the Karaoke Bar. Unfortunately, they
have now signed me up to perform in the "Pop Stars" competition, so I have to sing in front of the
whole cruise in the Show Lounge on Friday night.
Hmmmmm – I wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew????
More news tomorrow.
P.S. It's Thursday already and we all don't want this week to end.
Lilly seems to make friends pretty easily. She's having fun here in the spa with some new friends.
Who else but Harrison would think of snorkelling in the pool on the back deck of the ship?
The pool on the back deck of the ship has a problem with child infestation.
Lilly lost her bracelet in the pool. She insisted we tell a security guard, who took her name, and
cabin number. A few hours later, the bracelet turned up in her room with a nice letter. So Lilly just
had to send a thankyou note. Click on the image to enlarge it and read the exchange. Very cute!
I'm a legend in my own mind. I got to don a chef's cap in the galley. The cap was signed by the
executive chef, Eduardo.
