Saturday 29th June 2019 (continued)
But back to today, and breakfast is my first priority. Because it is a sea day there will be a Welcome Aboard party of the Ocean Liner Society members this morning, in the Medina Room, Deck 13 Forward Stairwell. We have the use of the room from 10.45 until 12.15, and can buy any drinks or snacks at the nearby Crow's Nest Bar. I know quite a few members of the OLS on board and it will be interesting to see who else attends. In the event, 51 people turned up, and most of us wore a name label (in big font size). I think many of us know each other by name but not necessarily by sight so it was interesting to walk around and meet people. Some people sat in low comfy seats, but the rest of us circulated and enjoyed meeting others. It was a very pleasant way to spend a morning at sea, in congenial company, but later in the voyage I realised I never saw many of them again.
I see from the daily programme that from 7 a.m. I could have attended Total Body Conditioning, Pathway to Yoga, Body Sculpt Boot Camp, Short Tennis, Armed Forces Day UK get together, Cofee Chat and Travelling Solo Get-Together, Stretch & Release, and Facebook Meet & Greet, but I was happy to be in the Medina Room.
During the rest of the day there were lots of activities to take part in or watch and enjoy being on this ship. Tonight all passengers are invited to the Pacific Lounge for the Captain's Welcome On-Board Party at 8 p.m. so OLS members have decided to meet in Anderson's on Deck after 7 p.m. for a drink first before going to the Captain's party, and then to second sitting dinner in the Oriental Restaurant on Deck 6 aft at 8.30 p.m.
That continued a very enjoyable day at sea.
To be continued...
