We were still docked in Dublin and extra shuttle buses had been provided but we decided we would rest on board the ship as we had such a busy time over the last few days. I went to another lecture on the European Community which I found very boring and was great at putting me to sleep for the remainder of the morning.
We had light lunch at the pool grill then went up to deck 12 for a boules tournament as we sailed away. It was rather cold and the wind starting to pick up so I dressed up and put on my patch to avoid seasickness. As the afternoon wore on the ship began to rock. The others went up to the pool deck to sit in the hot tub, while I stayed below.
There was the Crew Capers show before dinner in which the crew perform on stage. We always enjoy watching these amateur productions which are not polished but are ordinary people trying their hardest. We met in Alison parent’s room to gather before going to dinner in the French specialty restaurant. Service was outstanding and we were here to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. The restaurant staff brought out a cake and sang. Unfortunately, Louise had left feeling ill form the ship motion and Paul had gone to the theatre.
After dinner, we went up to the parents’ room to see how it had been decorated with two swans and roses on the bed. Later, Alison went up to hang out with Sammy and Rose in the Observation lounge while I went to bed.
