Well, seems I'm the stupid one. Hamburgers have been removed from MDR menu only on formal nights.

Yes not long now.

 

Question: Did you have tryouts for your Trivia team, or did you actively recruit the members with promises of compensation or something other?

 

Seems as if the challenge gauntlet has been thrown down...

 

Will there be the boat building challenge this crossing?

 

do you know if Donato is in LaT?

 

see you aboard!

Trivia team assembled from previous winning teams. and there is even a waiting list!

I don't think Donato is back yet. I believe Francesco is still at La T.

Not long to go. Trivia team assembled.CD Moss. F & B Nicolas.It's going to be a great X-ing with so many friends on board.

spinnaker2,

If the stars align, we will likely be on the Barcelona-Bridgetown cruise next November.[ATTACH]369410[/ATTACH][/quote

 

As is said around here..."if the creek don't rise"... we will also be joining you in that mini-TA. Looking forward to meeting you! I guess it's too early for a roll call...

 

I have booked this TA also, plus following cruise B2B Bridgetown to Bridgetown sail up the Amazon.

Hope the weather doesnt get too bad for you tonight. The Lunch and Learn with David looks like the usual fun, but did you have to pay for the experience this time?

No, there were 2 performances, all free but reservations required. I was waitlisted but was one of the chosen few.

Next reserved performance is a "hands on" demonstration of appetiser preparation.

Today an open lesson on baking bread.

At noon today Captain says he is slowing down and to expect a rough night.

Sick bags already on hand rails.

We were so lucky today, it was only the second sunny day in 6 weeks, temperature of 70c and only a little wind.

Boy that's hot!

but fun is being had by all, with the lovely Vicki doing a great job.

Vicki is a lovely CD!

The first Captain was Dag Saevic, who came from The Radisson Diamond. I believe he is still there. A great Captain.

Looks like "Inaugural Voyage" is being added to end of "World Cruise". So start of Muse Voyage is Nice on May 3rd. 13 days to Istanbul. World Cruise will have priority over Venetian Society bookings.

As we arrived in Noumea we were welcomed at 7 AM with Dancers and drummers.

Those of us booked on the whole 64 day cruise experienced a fantastic evening. First a catamaran came alongside the "Spirit" and we transferred directly from the ship. Then a tour of Sydney Harbour ending up at the Opera House.

At an outdoor restaurant at the Opera House we were treated to drinks, meal and entertainment by an aboriginal dance troupe complete with DidgeryDoo!

Then an evening at the Opera, a performance of " Madama Butterfly". A great production. Coach ride back to the ship to a welcoming group of butlers etc at 11:30 PM.

Arrived very early. Raining and low light.

Wes: Good news. Head sommelier Kiri says that more Billi Billi is expected in Sydney.

Also had fresh Tasmanian oysters on the half shell at lunch today.

Today, at midnight UK time, I tossed an orchid blossom into the sea as a memorial to my mother who passed away this day last year. R.I.P. Mum.

Against ship regulations but what the Hey. Arrest me!
