2 October Good News Week


2 October Good news week

A typical day with gym, trivia (lost a tiebreak), early lunch, ashore, Facebooked Steph and the grandkids, slipped to 3rd in afternoon trivia, lured to dinner by the 2 old ladies who promised us champagne, took in the big signature show with the imported stars.

We still had no information about our cabin for the next leg, the transfer arrangements or the passenger satisfaction questionnaire. J led the charge to Customer services to enquire and we were surprised to be pointed to the Back-to-back specialist who went off and collected a list and gave us a cabin number on deck 9. She also outlined the process for transfer, which is pretty simple and very convenient. We could see my South African friend nearby behind the desk. We headed upstairs for a look and noticed that the number was very similar to our present one plus 2000 so we suspected that it would likely be in a similar position, very close to the front and tucked away in a corridor right in the middle of the boat.

Imagine our happiness to discover that we are actually close to the forward lifts, which is pretty much midships . . . and it has a Balcony!! We went back twice and checked and it kept being the same cabin. In this state of euphoria, we went and cashed in the free casino chips we got for being Select repeat clients and then had a quick look at the bottle-O to see if there were any special deals. And there were indeed. So that is our duty free quota sorted out.

All in all, a very satisfying evening on this delightful ship.
