Today is Australia Day for us on board and we’re celebrating today with loads of fun things, so g’day mates! Also happy Chinese New Year, the year of the Ox.
Last night it was Robbie Burns night and our Scottish table mates decorated the table with hand made flags and Willie addressed the Haggis, only it was a bread roll!
Today I have taken photos around the ship so you can see just how much space we have onboard. Not at all like the Aurora last year where you struggled to get a sun bed, although I have to admit, I haven’t sunbathed yet, so I need to start soon.
THIS IS THE LIBRARY
IVAN, OUR COCKTAIL WAITER & BARISTA
THE DESERTED PANORAMA BUFFET
Now for the ship’s facts …. length of Tahitian Princess is 592ft, 30,000 tons, 670 passengers when full, we’re about 100 short of maximum and about 360 crew.
There are three restaurants on board. The main one with two sittings (I think they could have merged this or had an open sitting because it’s not full,) the Steakhouse Grill and Sabatini’s. These two restaurants alternate over three nights, one is open the other closes because their just aren’t enough passengers on board. There aren’t many bars; there’s the pool bar, Tahitian lounge, Cabaret lounge, Casino bar and Panorama Bar plus the restaurants.
There’s a library, a few shops, spa and salon, shuffle board, ping pong and apparently a Wii somewhere, they haven’t got that out yet. We only have three formal nights from Fort Lauderdale to Sydney, the first leg) the rest are smart casual, so that’s much more relaxed than P & O.
I walk the decks each day, today I walked two miles in 25 minutes, about 26 times around! Then I line dance, shuffle board, play golf, table tennis and do two quizzes. Now you can see why I don’t have time to sit in the sun. Phil and I are putting are names down to do a 5K walk which is about 40 times around the deck on 9 Feb in aid of Breast Cancer.
THIS IS A DAY AT SEA AND NO ONE IS ABOUT!
