Tuesday, June 21

Today is a sea day so it's very laid back.   There are couple of activities and a documentary this afternoon, but mostly reading and staring at the seas is the order of the day.  There's a bit of rocking, but it's not bothering us.  I'll miss the rocking to sleep.

The passenger mix is mostly Australian, then American, French and finally, German.   When they give the briefing on the next day's plan every evening, the English speakers gather in the largest bar/lounge and the other groups meet in much smaller conference rooms.  Usually the larger group went to the large restaurant in the village and the others went somewhere else because they couldn't accommodate all of us.  Ships announcements were always French first, then English .  I guess the Germans just had to figure it out.

On the other cruises we've taken there are always unhappy people who complain about the dumbest stuff.  I've only heard two complaints here.  I think these passengers are more adventurous and open minded.  We just sort of shrug when things don't go quite as planned and accept it as life in this part of the world.  The staff have been wonderful, always smiling and eager to make sure we are taken care of
