15 January – At Sea

The sun was shining but there was still a strong wind and a rocking ship, as we emerged from our cabin (stateroom).

Trivia score seems to have settled down to around 14 points out of 20 – still a bit behind the 17, 18, or sometimes 19 of the winners – definitely some hardened quizers amongst them.

Went on from the Trivia to the Zumba class. Managed to get through it but probably doing the wrong steps.

Ballroom dancing class was next. Rumba today and quite complicated steps with Sergei in full swing. Completed the class without event or injury and onward to lunch in the buffet.

We had hoped to spend time on deck in the afternoon but the sun had disappeared and the wind had picked up.

Another Gala night tonight, with posh frocks but no Captain’s cocktails, or free drinks.

Joined by some British people at dinner. Conversation was entertaining but at a lower volume than last night and it turns out that the German lady is gaining a reputation for her enthusiastic conversation.

Tonight’s show was a British comedian. He was good but had to work very hard to find common ground with the audience of Brits, Americans, Australians and Germans.
