Day 24 – Recovering at sea after French Polynesia (10/10/19)
Written by Kim We were happy today to have a relaxing day at sea after 2 busy days in French Polynesia. I got the opportunity to do some laundry (hand washing but good therapy). I do miss some of the normal chores at home. We played progressive trivia and did ok not great with 12 […]
Day 23 – Fantastic Day in Tahiti and Moorea (10/9/19)
Written by Kim Today was our last day in South Pacific before we head out to sea for 5 more days and we sure filled it with adventure. We disembarked around 9 to get the 10 am ferry to Moorea. Our friends decided to stay behind so it was just Alex and I. The ferry […]
Day 22 – Bora Bora Dreaming (10/8/19)
Written by Alex Six days at sea brings on a lot of dreaming of an idyllic day in Bora Bora, one with brilliant sunshine, clear water, swaying palm trees and a light breeze. Unfortunately, Mother Nature has other ideas! A cloudy, cool (by South Pacific standards – 77F/25C) and drizzly day greeted us. We had […]
Day 21 – Last sea day #6 before Bora Bora (10/7/19)
Written by Kim Woke up to a beautiful sunrise on the balcony before heading up on deck for our walk. God is so good making the beautiful sunrise. Had breakfast in the main dining room which we enjoy. Service is good and food comes very hot. Ran into 2 Belgian men, Nick and Tom, who […]
Day 20 – Lazy sea day on the South Pacific (10/6/19)
Written by Alex – very late on this one just because… 😁 Day 20 might have been one of the quietest days we’ve had on our cruise. There was no trivia, so we instead went to the Captain’s Corner. We had done it on the last cruise and it’s always interesting so we went again. […]
Day 19 – Crossing the Equator (10/5/19)
Written by Kim This morning we had a galley tour first thing. Luckily they didn’t need our help down there but it was quite an impressive production that produces 650 plates per seating. After the tour we joined progressive trivia for round 4. We did a bit better today but clearly animal trivia is not […]
Day 18 – TGIF – rainy on a Friday afternoon (10/4/19)
Written by Kim Started the day with a walk out on the deck. It was a Just Do It day for me as my knee is still bothering me but glad I did it because it felt good. Off to breakfast and trivia in 270 which is becoming the norm. We didn’t do well in […]
Day 17 – Heading southbound again! (10/3/19)
(Written by Alex) Kim and I were awake when the ship arrived in Honolulu at approximately 1am. They didn’t dock, but rather dropped a lifeboat/tender and transported the patient to shore. We estimate that the ship was back in route to Tahiti by 3am, approximately 29 hours later than scheduled. Praying the passenger is fine. […]
Day 16 – Quiet day at sea except for medical emergency (10/2/19)
Written by Kim Slept in a little late almost 8 am after our long day yesterday. After breakfast I said to Alex I was happy that we made it through the first 10 day cruise without hearing an Alpha, Alpha which is the call for a medical emergency. Well this morning we had an Alpha […]
