As I type this blog, I can see a ship passing by my balcony! Yes MY BALCONY and NO you are not misreading it. Let me explain...we went to bed at midnight and around 1.45 a.m. I awoke to the sound of voices and a squelching sound from the corridor. I thought I had better have a look and as I put my foot on the carpet, squelch that feels wet. My first reaction was sh....t we are sinking and we are in trouble as its reached Deck 10. I woke George to say my last goodbye, and he assured me all as ok. Anyway the culprit was a burst water pipe. Our cabin and 20 others were flooded. So for 12 hours or so we walked around like zombies, not knowing where to get a kip and Princess not offering anything really. Finally we stood at the Front Desk and refused to move until they gave us a bed to sleep in or we threatened to bring our mattress and pillows down to the reception. Hence we were given this lovely balcony, (and as we now have new carpet with a lovely bostik glue smell which we refuse to sleep in,) for the night. We crashed out for 3 hours and feel slightly better but still grumpy. I think Dawn Princess needs a holiday, big time. George said it could be worse and be sewage. Yuck.
So today we have not done much apart from having 3 breakfasts between the hours of 6 a.m. till 11.30, and drinking coffee to help us stay awake.
Tomorrow we are going to Universal Studios, and hopefully we are not tired.
Last night was formal night so we got dressed up, see pics.
