Day 11-15 - At Sea

Day 11 - This was supposed to be a 1/2 day scenic cruising through Fiordlands, but due to 9m swells, gale force winds and bad weather the captain made the decision not to put the passengers & boat at risk. We spent most of the day in the Dome - reading, chatting and even a bit of napping :) After quilling there was "Karaoke Power Hour" in the Bengal Bar - so I had a sing :) That night after dinner we arrived back at the cabin to find invitations to the "Captain's Cocktail Party" - how exciting!

Day 12 -We went to a napkin and towel folding demonstration in the Show Lounge and then stayed to watch the live culinary demonstration.


Quilling class then another delicious afternoon tea in the formal dining room. Then we got dressed up for the Captain's cocktail party in the Dome. We had pictures taken with the Captain and nibblies & champagne. The Captain gave a bit of a speech and awarded 3 couples for the most cruises - one couple had been on 135 cruises!! We listened to the live band for awhile, then went to dinner.


Day 13 - Another lazy day - quilling and relaxing in the Dome. We went to see the Pacific Cirque "Transformation" show in the Atrium, then to see Ash Puriri in the Show Lounge - both great shows!




Day 14 - We went through all the professional photos in the photo gallery and picked our faves - will share them soon. More quilling and T-shirt painting, then off to the Show Lounge to watch the final of "Pacific Popstar". There were some amazing contestants - the passenger that won was amazing!! After that we wandered up to sit out on the deck and played "Name that Song - TV theme songs". We came equal first with another team (hmmm..think we watch too much TV LOL), so we had which the other team won. We packed our bags ready to be collected :(


We had one last delicious dinner in the formal dining room where our waiter Rageesh entertained us with napkin folding :)


After dinner we went to see one more show "Starry Starry Night" in the Show Lounge - with Ash Puri and Pearson & Harvey, then off to karaoke where I had another sing.

Day 15 - Up at 4.30am and watching as we sail up the Brisbane river and dock at the terminal. Had breakfast and then waited till it was our groups turn to disembark. I n all the craziness we managed to leave one of mum's bags at the terminal - oops :(
