Sea Days

We have 2 sea days between Halifax and Nanortalik, Greenland. Weather varies from cloudy to partly sunny to heavy fog. Seas vary from dead calm to 6 or 8 foot swells.

The temperatures drop, and at first most areas of the ship are cold, but eventually warm to a comfortable level.

Participation in themed nights, including formal night is minimal at best. The Crown Lounge and Centrum remain crowded most of the time. By 11 pm everywhere looks like a ghost ship except for a trio playing for the lone bar tender in the Centrum. Yes this cruise has a more mature manifest of passengers.

The captain shares that we safely passed an iceberg in our path during the night.

The dining room food continues to be good, much better than Cunard, and service since the first several nights has been good.

Our waiter shares that couple 3 showed up late for dinner last night. The excuse: "we got lost". Mind you they were at least an hour and 45 minutes late. Just glad we did not wait for them.

Tomorrow we arrive at our first port at the Southern tip of Greenland.
