We didn’t hang around in the Commodore Club for too long, leaving well before the 6pm dress code cut-off. It’s the Captain’s cocktail party for the CWC members as well as being the Masquerade Ball, so tonight was a formal night. I was in the white tux, as I’d popped

Today is a sea day, and as such has been designated as a learning day. It started off well, as I leapt out of bed at 06.50 with my alarm clock blaring out. I got dressed and headed of to the gym for my run. I then went back to
We had a really, really lazy evening. Jane was exhausted and full after the Taormina visit, so we’d decided to give the Commodore Club a miss tonight and watch a film instead. We watched Florence Foster Jenkins, very enjoyable, before getting ready for dinner. Dinner was, as usual, excellent with
I had another lazy day today knowing I was going to be doing a lot of walking on our shore excursion. We were doubly lazy, not getting up until 08.30 and drifting down to breakfast in the MDR. Jane was feeling particularly antisocial so we ended up on a table

Jane’s second cocktail was another old favorite, the Breakfast Martini, while I had a very nice pint of Marston’s Pedigree. We sat and chatted to Pat and Giana far beyond the 18.00 dress code cut-off, so didn’t get much of a rest back in the room before dinner. We were
I’m back on it, even though I hated the alarm going off at 06.50, I dragged my carcass out of my pit and up to the gym for my morning’s run. I came back to the room with a cup of tea from the Lido for Jane. She’s not well,
