EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE - Day at Sea
Today is the last full sea day of the cruise. We slept in this morning. It is amazing that a ship this size has no laundry. So more hand washing was done this morning. We received our disembarkation information followed by a parade of the ship’s staff.

The captain entertained us again with his dry humour.
This was followed by a special sale by the shops on board. What a stampede after the ribbon was cut by the captain. The area was decorated for the occasion.
I also realised that I had stuffed up big time by deleting a large number of photos off the camera whilst in Athens as I thought I had downloaded them. Well I hadn’t, so I have lost over a 100 photos. Luckily hubby also takes photos on his camera so we will have at least some of the missing days.
We attended the art auction today. I was surprised at the prices that some pictures went for. We should have registered for the auction. Will know next time. It is formal night tonight so everyone again is dressed up for the night.
We had the best dinner of the cruise tonight. Great company, good food and wine - what else does one need!
There was a parade by the waiters who were also dressed in formal attire.
Before the show we went up on deck
to watch the scenery.
We saw the pilot boat arrive.
then watched as the pilot tried several times to leave the ship and get onto the pilot boat.
Due to the waves it appeared to be a somewhat complex manoeuvre this time. It took quite a few attempts to get the pilot on board the pilot boat.
This was followed by a most spectacular show called ‘The Solstice’. It was a bit like Circe d’Soleil. There was action on the stage, above the stage and above the audience. Just spectacular. What was harder to grasp was that the same people who had performed in the previous shows performed it. A very talented crew. Sorry , but photos were not allowed to be taken during the show so only memories of the show are to be had.
