Two days at sea , what is their to say apart from….

Although there is quite a lot of entertainment etc on on board we tend to skip most of it. Its a bit late to start German or Spanish lessons unless there is good tips on ordering beer or the best wines whilst most of the Germans and Spanish speak our lingo anyway. As usual there are last minute offers in the SPA bit still expensive we think although if you have tons of money then its not a problem.

So we spent most of the time reading, listening to music and of course going to breakfast, lunch and dinner in the various restaurants on board and I am so impressed that once they knew your room number they jumped in to looking to ensure that I was not served something in error and so on the complete trip not one problem for Noel which was really good.

On Thursday evening we had dinner in the Atlantide Main restaurant, Jennifer had the lobster again and Noel the Veal chop which was really fantastic, whoever supplies their meat is a great supplier. There was an American couple sitting next to us who lived near Clearwater in Florida and he was a Dentist by trade and by the number of times they have travelled abroad clearly dentistry is a profitable business in the USA. Clearly they were Trump Supporters and they do not like the present administration at all it became clear. Mind you I find it difficult to recommend a good Country administration anywhere except Singapore and Monaco…why is that?

We got back to the cabin after a nice evening and were left a piece of paper indication that we had travelled 1775 nautical miles on this trip..

On Friday afternoon we had to pack our bags and get them ready to leave them outside the door by latest 11 pm leaving you only with the clothes you can stand in and any other hand luggage. At one point Jennifer thought she missed something as her bag was quite empty but once complete we actually had tight space as before.

Goodbye Silver Spirt and Thank you

We have to leave the cabin by 0800 hrs so that they can start the sanitisation process which is required. Everywhere on the hip are sensitisation stations and before you can pick up a plate there is a machines where you wash your hands for twenty seconds then it gives out a paper hand towel to dry yourself off. You are not allowed to serve yourself at any of the buffet meals and so with all these conditions in affect there were no known cases of Covid or Norovirus on board. The care they take s excellent and although expensive worth every penny.

Not looking forward to the early morning though…
