Day 6

Last night after watching the beautiful sunset, we had a lovely delicious dinner, the food is amazing. We eat in the Dining Room every night, apart from the best service and food, its all about portion control.Not to mention our fantastic table companions.We left at a respectable time as we wanted to see the first Production Show. The waiter was gobsmacked when we all left before 9.30. In the Princess Theatre we watched the absolutely amazing show. It was mostly 60's music, so we knew all the words, but oh boy the singers and dancers were great. After this we went on deck for a walk, its still very humid at night.

Day 6

Early start today, we had booked the Ship's Ultimate Tour on Monday however it's a lottery system so to our surprise we actually "won" our places in the tour. So it began at 8.30 this morning. It's a behind the scenes look but we really got much more than we had ever anticipated. It began with a visit to the Bridge (met El Captain) right the way down to the galley and laundry and lots in between. It also consisted of 2 glasses of beautiful champagne, not usual for us before lunch, and canapé's which were so delicious. We also receive, chef's jackets, bathrobes, lots of photos and personalised stationery. It ended with champagne and canapé's again and shaking hands with the Captain. Well worth every cent of the $180 charge each. It was great to meet our Cruise Director and all his staff who are doing a great job. He promises to show lots of the Soccer World Cup.
 
Lunch at the Buffet, and then watch an ice carving demo by the pool, very good. We intend to have a swim today but don't hold us to that haha.
