A lot in last week. Enjoyed Wadi Rum even though we had been there before; not a good guide so it didn't live up to our previous experience where we had done it privately. Fantastic dinners with Matilda and Ricardo (Cruise Consultant and Destinations). Margaret and Elda, and Felice and Sunshine Sarah. Our trivia team finished with five wins and placed all except three days. Met some wonderful new people including KLTers that hopefully will start posting on LCT.
Last night Suzanne and Mark came onboard for drinks and a wonderful dinner. Due to our late excursion, and procedures at terminal, didn't get onboard until 8pm. Had drinks in Voyager Lounge, dinner in Chartreuse, and more drinks in Horizon Lounge. Alas, they were told that they needed to debark by 11pm; so the night came to an early end.
We entered the boat building contest teaming up with Aussies from our trivia team. I will say that our boat easily could carry the most cargo; however, it did not place in the top three. Pictures to come. Arlene and I are going to try again on this cruise; aiming for a smaller more decorated boat that will hopefully handle the seas and cargo.
Without cards at 10 and 2, I have regressed into playing most all of the games. Did well at croquet, bocce, and putting and not so well at skittles, top toss, and chipping. Ended up with over 150 regent rewards; alas two couples I had been competing against had a lot more rewards to redeem yesterday. I saved most of mine for new merchandise that is supposed to appear in Singapore.
Decided to stay onboard today to watch change over. A lot of crew leaving including Captain; Captain Green is now in charge. Nicola is Social Hostess, new fitness instructor and piano player but Nature's Rhythm is still onboard. Major change over in Singapore where Ray will replace Margaret, Gudrun will replace Matilda, and Katja will replace Ricardo.
More later . . .
