The weather was cold but wind was down. I was able to run/walk for 5 Kms and later took a dip in the hot tub in the rear of the ship. In fact I don't think it had been used since we departed!
The food was much improved yesterday for some reason . I had lunch in the main dining room and enjoyed it, especially a parsnip soup. That night I had a great mushroom pasta that was served nice and hot. We had a woman from Ireland join our table. She had some trouble finding a good table. First she was seated at a table for ten...by herself. And then she sat with some people that enjoyed complaining the entire time. I think she had a better time at our table.
There was a comedian on board who performed last night. He wasn't great, seemed to be struggling. It was a bit awkward.
This morning we had to get passports stamped by a UK immigration officer. It should speed up disembarkation but it wasted an hour standing in line today. It was a little annoying.
It's warmer today, 15 degrees but still a bit foggy. I really don't think I needed to bring sun tan lotion but who knows. The sun seems to be trying to cut through. The warmer weather is nice but the wind is up and parts of the deck are closed off and the occasional show keep the decks wet. We just lost another hour and are three hours ahead of EDT.
I received an invitation to join a table for dinner hosted by some of the ships staff. It won't be officers, it is the Customer services manager and communication manager. Not sure why I as invited but it's a first for me and will go. It follows a Cunard world club party which I was invited to for the first time. The few benefits of reaching gold status! One of the other benefits is two hours of Internet time. Too bad it runs so slowly, I wasn't able to accomplish much in two hours.
Deck, wet and cold.
