A full day at sea. We found the Gym and Fay biked and I walked on the machines. We managed to play a game on bingo (no luck) but @ 20 Euros per game, we are not sure we will be back. The Casino is a full on smoking area, so we may not gamble again on the boat – we’ll save our money for other things. (Duty free smokes $3 Australian a pack … … … I stocked up).
Today was the first day of formal dining at night and after a delayed delivery on my suit which had to be ironed, and a cold shower (hot water problems – since fixed) we wandered down and enjoyed a formal meal. The food was excellent and I may be forced to re think the food situation. I have not been exactly enthusiastic about the food and the service during meals has been abysmally slow. We are starting to wonder whether this is regarded as a training run to get the waiters ready for the USA cruises where the service would have to be a lot better. We are seated with Australians from Sydney for dinner. One is a retired school principal so once again Adrian cannot escape from teachers. There are 1752 Australians on the cruise and that is the market they are targeting. They will need to lift their game for favorable reports. People are allowed to smoke inside parts of the ship which means there are some parts I can’t go too. This alone would stop me from cruising with MSC again.
