This cruise has been and continues to be superb. The staff is so well trained and just can’t do enough for you. We know so many and they remember us from past cruises….makes it really feel like we are coming home. We have missed a couple of ports due to weather, but no big deal for us. We were supposed to be in port today (last port in Iceland) but the wind was so strong they couldn’t dock. Yeah.. we love sea days. We had lunch in compass rose today and had a table by the window. We were watching the waves crash against the ship, and at times they were so high they covered the entire window. We decided to skip dessert and are glad we did. Just minutes after we left a wave crashed head on into the next window from us and broke the window, knocking it completely out.
A very near miss for us, but I think Marc was actually disappointed he wasn’t there to see it. Talking to staff later, they told us they have replacement windows on board but this one can’t be replaced until we are in a port as the frame was bent. It is all curtained off but the staff showed Marc and I, and what a mess. Soaked carpets, lots of plywood and scaffolding, etc. We’ve really been rocking and rolling all day.

For those of you who have met the Duvas, they were made Commodores a few days ago. Definitely don’t see that every day. We have a great trivia team, and though we aren’t winning every day, we have had our share. Miss the LCT gang and card games though.

More later as we start seeing more ports. Arlene
