Unlike the bigger and fancier ships, the daily program has a limited number of entries. Other than the usual “let me get you into the spa so that we can make a living….” there was music and one round of Trivia programed.
There are 136 passengers on board – quite a contrast to the ~3k of the Quantum. The staff numbers are probably higher than the passenger numbers.
I have already decided that I am pretty much skipping anything that feels like a mass gathering. Ok, so not really mass gatherings so much as many people in a smaller space.
I spent part of the morning, after leaving the upstairs lounge trying to find a quiet space on the ship. I finally settled out in the Compass Rose on Deck 6 and had put on my headphones just as a small herd of crew came in for a meeting. They ignored me, I continued to not see them… It worked out.
But avoiding groups means that I head early to dinner and have scored a table off in a corner. (Spicy peanut & squash soup, chicken tikka with the actual appropriate condiments was my choice this evening but there were several other equally appetizing options).
Stitching – I have finished both the Supernatural SAL – Witchy Stitcher and Halloween Countdown – Fox&Rabbit included the dreaded backstitching. I am also caught up on the Snarky Hanukkah SAL and waiting the next release.
again – pictures if I ever get the band width
