Aurora at sea (part2)

Indian Ocean – Part 2
31st March 2014

As I said after lunch, we go back to the cabin for a relax on the balcony or to do our blog or we walk around the decks looking at the other passengers cooking themselves in the sun around the various pools.


On this cruise so far we have not been to the Art Class or the Craft Class.  The craft class is run by someone on board and doesn’t seem quite so good as normal.  Now the art class didn’t catch our attention at the beginning, but we may consider it again after South Africa, as we will be having quite a few sea days then, but we are finding plenty to do and we certainly don’t get bored.





Yesterday we spent quite a time on the Promenade Deck as they had a Macmillan Charity Event, where people walked (or ran) for 44 laps of the Promenade Deck (half a marathon).  We decided to give that one a miss, but we did sponsor the runners.



All too soon it is dinner time again and tonight Doreen decided to wear the dress she had made in Shanghai.


As usual hygiene is paramount on the ship so we have to use alcohol gel before we enter the restaurants and so far we have been free from any on board virus.



Tonight was a formal night and we sit on a table of friends that we had met on our previous cruise around South America.


After dinner we usually go to the theatre, where tonight they had a performance by Annette Wardell, a soprano singer very popular with the Royal Family and last night we had Julian Smith (who is a soprano saxophone player who came the runner up in Britain Got Talent) , after which we go to Carmens, a nightclub venue, where we can watch other cabaret acts Including singers, comedians, magicians and the Headliners Theatre Company, putting on shows such as a Queen tribute act, Demonstration Dance.  Alternatively if we prefer a quiet evening we go to the Crows Nest , where they have an evening of song and music performed by the on board artists.  So you can see we have plenty of choice of high quality entertainment in the evening.
