Oct 27 - At sea
Wow! Busy! Busy!
This morning we had two speakers. Hutch is back with his destination talks and this morning was Hobart, Tasmania. Following that we stayed in the theatre for a new enrichment lecturer - Bruce Petty, a writer/ historian. He will focus on the Pacific region in his talks and from his introductory session today it promises to be interesting!
Unfortunately we had to miss his second talk as we had a conflict!!! LOL. There was another Cruise Critic Meet and Greet to meet the new people who boarded in Sydney. We also met Peter, who has arranged two private tours we are doing, and John who has set up a special car on the Kuranda Railway for when we get to Cairns.
It has been interesting to ‘people watch’ today. This is a very different crowd than on the Pacific crossing - a lot fewer Asians, many more Aussies, an older demographic with more ‘doddery’ passengers (and I count myself among those!!). I guess the tour buses will run out of ‘Reserved for Handicapped’ seats!! 😂
Tonight is formal night again! They seem to be coming around often!! And now, I think some of the shows will be repeats of ones from the first cruise so we’ll need to decide whether to go or not. Tonight is Magic to Do which was very good the first time around.
We don’t have to be up really early tomorrow; we are looking forward to our tour from Hobart with 6 others from Cruise Critic.
Be back tomorrow with an update!

Interesting how the demographics changed for this cruise. And that the entertainment would repeat itself - I never thought of that. You may have to just make a couple nightcaps part of your nightly routine instead. 🤪
ReplyDeleteWe expected some of the entertainment to repeat - like the ‘production shows’ with the Princess singers and dancers. The other entertainers will be different as they come on and off the ship at the various ports.
