The muster drill was later than normal at 17:00, which messed up our usual five o’clock drinks an the Commodore Club. At least we didn’t need to take our life jackets back to the stateroom as they aren’t required at muster anymore. Jane was happy to get a Cosmopolitan once

The clocks went back an hour last night so we got an extra hour in bed. Much appreciated since the Cunard beds are so comfortable. I went to the gym for a run at 7am, which was surprisingly busy, followed by kippers for breakfast in the Britannia dining room. Today’s

We’ve left New York, heading south for the Caribbean and already the change in temperature is noticeable, it was 22 degrees this afternoon, but it was a bit blowey, interspersed with some heavy showers. We’ve had a lazy morning, with Jane starting to calm down a bit about the burglar
We lost an hour last night so getting up was a little difficult, so I was sent again to the Carinthia Lounge for a yoghurt pot for Jane. I brought Jane back a bircher muesli pot, nice, and a lemongrass and tapioca pot, not so nice. The sun was out
