July 26, 2023 - Wednesday - Sea Day
This morning we woke to rougher seas. While we did not find it troublesome, we did see that sea sick bags had been hung about the ship with care.
Our accomplishments today were attending a lecture on Vikings, a future cruise presentation, and a presentation by the hotel director on the inner workings of this hotel at sea. All were interesting. The hotel director’s talk offered many insights. One that we found most interesting was that he receives every comment card relating to the crew. He passes these on to the crew along with the picture of the author taken from our security files. This really lets the crew know who is rooting for them.
The Vikings lecture was the second in a series of 3. Yesterday at the first lecture we learned that it was being presented as a video on the big screen in the theater because the scheduled presenter had to cancel at the last minute. The slide show and narrative were put together at the last minute by staff. It was nicely executed.
Sean and Shelly were active participants in trivia and bingo. They have made many friends already. When we are with them we always meet someone who knows them. They have settled in quickly. They now understand our fondness for cruising and are laying plans for their future cruising.
The evening entertainment was a mentalist. He was very entertaining while focusing on 5 subjects to perform his magic. Shelly was one of the 5 and we were all amazed at how well he read her mind. This was fun.
After this relaxing and fun-filled day, we went to bed at a reasonable time to prepare for our first port, Alesund, tomorrow.
