We are now living in a thousand foot skyscraper hotel with 3000 other tourists and another thousand staff waiting on our every need. The hotel is horizontal and doing about 22 knots in the Adriatic Sea having just embarked from Venice. Jo and I are sitting on our balcony listening to the water lap the side of the ship, the kids are off to the pool (and mocktail refills). This is sick!
The ship is amazing, the staff are fantastic, the food insane. We had a three course meal last night that was at least as good as we've ever eaten. The cool part being that when Abs and Cam ordered a main dish and then didn't like the chicken pie the waiter swapped it for chateaubriand in about 60 seconds, instant happiness.
Last night was pretty quiet aboard as most people went into Venice for the evening. We stayed on board and the kids entertained a small crowd with their kareoke, Abs with some Lily Allen, Cam Alien Ant Farm and Jazz with B52's. We met a great couple from NZ and enjoyed a nightcap with them before hitting the hay. This morning we were up around 8 to watch the ship depart right past Saint Marks Square before heading off to breakfast in the crowded buffet. Tomorrow we arrive in Athens and the tours begin, but for now we'll enjoy a fairly relaxing day, after the emergency drill anyway.
Will try to upload some photos later.
Andy, out.
