Oriana - Day 6 - at sea


Another warm and mostly sunny day, although not quite as good as yesterday. The biggest joy was being able to eat a quicker breakfast in the buffet!  Now that the buffet is open, the first of two Baltic/Ligurian Lunches was held today (ours is in two days’ time) in the Oriental Restaurant. To allow for extra staff to serve food in the Conservatory, Al Frescoes remains closed.  The Captain was around the ship a lot in the morning for people to ask questions etc. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that while we were moored alongside in Malaga, we acquired a real Christmas tree tied to the mast  - ready for Father Christmas next week!!
 

Personally, I am finding it doesn’t really feel like Christmas. However, I did get a slice of delicious Christmas cake with my Costa coffee at teatime.

It is formal tonight so after the teatime quiz we went down to have a nap and get ready. Not before I reported a light out in the cabin – wonder how long before it’s fixed (fixed the following day).

Then our usual routine of drinks in Anderson’s and dinner - on our table, one of us had a birthday ) today so we had lots of balloons and singing waiters etc.  I had hoped to go to the dance but as usual – no one to dance with. I mentioned this to an Ent. Officer and he said he had been there earlier – not a lot of help for those of us on second sitting!! So we ended up at the Syndicate Quiz again.  Before going to bed, we put the clocks forward another hour!
