Oriana - Day 2 - at sea

Day 2 – at sea (Saturday)

It was a very bumpy night, just as the captain had warned. I had breakfast in Al Frescos, whcih although a more limited choice, is much more civiised than the buffet! Then popped along to the Travelling Alone meet - a few familiar faces there.  On my way back down I met up with the Front of House Manager to arrange a book signing at the Oriana Uncovered event on 25 May. Otherwise it was a very lazy day. My tickets arrived for the shore excursions I had pre-booked. At 12 I made my way to Tiffanys where we had arranged a Cruise Forum meet but only one person was there. Later I had a phone call from one of the others asking where I had been! I asked the same question! Apparently he was there but missed us. We later met up at the quiz in Tiffanys. The afternoon was spent pottering and dozing in cabin as my usual first day lethargy hit. After the Indiviual Quiz at 5.30 I went back to the cabin to change for dinner to discover a lovely bowl of fruit had been delivered.Got changed, went to casino (lost £10) and had a drink in Andersons before going in to dinner. On the way I spotted silver charms of Oriana in the jewellery shop – hooray! Bought one – only £25 here too rather than the £49 on Azura!!  As I went to my table I was headed off by a waiter saying the head waiter wanted to speak with me. They had found me a new table - No 28 instead - which I found much more comfortable –  four solo travellers.  Still on our 48 hour Norovirus quarantine so no condiments yet! I didn't bother with any shows as I was still tired - maybe tomorrow!
