Been a great few days. Good excursions in Malta and Crete. Fun trivia team yet we haven't broken through for a win; got a tie for third with 13 today. Good meals in Chartreuse, Room Service, P7, and Compass Rose (twice). Great service in all bars including pool bar and pool deck. I have gone back to doing the various token activities. Since the gal running most of the activities gives three reward points just for participating, and I had a fantastic time at croquet; I picked up a total of 20 reward points yesterday. I am going to start doing the daily quiz for a chance for more.

We are headed now for Suez Canal. Canal, Luxor, and Aqaba are main interests for almost all pax on this cruise. A sea day, transit of canal, two days in Luxor, day in Aqaba, and then four sea days. No more sleeping in as we go through canal starting at 330 on Thursday.

I will try to post pix at some point; once I figure out how.

More later....
