It would be lovely to say that I accomplished a lot today. And it was some – knitting, sorting out and downsizing the on-computer storage of photos and reading a lot.

Then there was the Back2Back cruisers meeting at 1700 in the Viking Crown Lounge which told us nothing really new. It was at this point I realized I hadn’t bothered with the Cruise Compass which meant I was a bit underdressed for formal night. Ah well, at least my laundry had come back giving me a couple of choices for the 1900 Reception which was held in the Captain’s Quarters. None of them included leather vests or jackets since my hair was still wet.

Who knew? I wasn’t tacky enough to take pictures, but these quarters are lovely. Located on Deck 7 at the port forward bow, the reception/living room is a partial rectangle with the other wall the curve of the hull. He also has an office, storage area, bathroom and at least one bedroom (closed doors and I didn’t snoop. There were veggie snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

Surprised? I guess my presence is making a difference in the menu – at least for the short term.
