A very good morning from Mykonos! The sun is up and it looks beautiful today😎 We are cleared for tender service. We have Regent her and another ship on the way as visitors today. So a busy day ahead on the island.

CruiseCompass Day 9, Mykonos

Tender service Mykonos & Santorini

Dinner menu We had salad and lamb. It tasted good 👍🏻 Dessert We went for bananas Forster And all the table got a chef special, the grand Manier soufflé. It was very good and service is very nice 👌🏻 Now it’s bedtime for “old ladies”🤣🥰

Tonight’s show was iBroadway. It’s a great show, feel good🥳 We have had a change of musicians onboard today. New acoustic duo and house band. The acoustic duo is really good! We heard them in Al Bacio, they are really good🥳🥳🥳 and now in Cellar Master

The Queens friend, Anki is on Rhodes this week😆 What a timing😂 (this is one of the entourage that will be onboard AZ next year) So the plan for today was meet up and have lunch together. We had a walk in old town for some sightseeing and shopping 🛍️ The Queen (again) shopped a new linen shirt and shorts…. And a new silk scarf 🧣 Ice cream was obligatory for the girls today🍨 We had a lunch down by the oceanfront. Sardines and Greek salad I was considering getting a new pair of slippers😁 it was just like petting Miss & Hannah🐾🐾🐈‍⬛🐈 After the day together in town we returned to the ship a little after 15.00. The Queen wanted coffee, so a stop in Al Bacio it is😅

Breakfast in MDR today🥰 Menu I went for my usual breakfast. Greek yogurt and berries🍓🫖 The Queen had pancakes 🥞 We arrived just after rush hours. So very peaceful down there☺️

God Morning from Rhodes

Cruise Compass Day 8 Rhodes

As I mentioned earlier, we reported a tiny bug in our stateroom…. The night light on our bathroom is all out. So it’s either full daylight or black out. This is what happens when you have the light on during the night…. If you are a person that won’t sleep well in just a few tones of light, you need completely dark mode…. Bring a sleeping mask😝 Because the bathroom light is bright and shiny, same goes for the door to the hallway😉 The electrician has visited according to guest relations. But it wasn’t a quick fix. Aka just not a broken lightbulb🙄 They needed to change something else… so they are on it😇 fingers crossed for the future😁

The Martini Bar is really in their zone. IMG_4161.mov Compared to EQ/easter they are very alive and into making a show every evening🤩🥳🤩 We usually see the flair show and then continue onwards to Cellar Master. The music in grand foyer from the house band are really good. But a bit too loudly for us. In cellar master it’s either the classic guitar player or string duo🎶 The crew in Cellar Master is excellent and very friendly❤️ They are running over the “usual” club soda and sprite free😂❤️ Tonight’s menu: Lots of delicious options today! I went for salad and flank steak. The Queen had gumbo (YES, she really enjoyed it! The bowl was wiped😂) and chicken. We had a plate of gnocchi for sharing. All tasted great❤️😋😋 Dessert menu Our waiter was so clear…. Tonight your having ice cream again😂🤩😇 I promise, it’s a winner! Of course the ladies was ready for ice cream 🍨🥰😋😂 The Queen asked for sorbet and received the raspberry flavour. I was given vanilla. This was as it should be…. Creamy, rich velvet texture and delicious full body taste of vanilla or raspberry❤️❤️🍨 After dinner it was bedtime🥰

Tonight’s show is Leslie Mcdonel, “Women of Rock” She really has the voice to make it a fabulous show🎶 The Queen was SO impressed🤩

I had some coffee in Al Bacio with the Queen after arriving back onboard. She was a bit tired, so I followed her upstairs to our cabin. I changed into swimsuits and continued upstairs. The Queen decided to have a Power Nap on the bed😴. It’s slowly getting more people upstairs on pool deck as it gets closer to sail away. It’s a bit windy and on the edge of cold for me in the sun☀️ ( I know, this Viking prefer hot hot weather😎😝) The captain announced just a little after 17.30 that we were preparing the last details for departure. Perhaps it time to go downstairs to check on the Queen and prepare for the evening?

Oh YES! it’s still here😂😂😂

We had a walk in downtown Kusadasi. Tiny kittens 🐈‍⬛….❤️ they screamed please bring me home as a souvenir😆🥰❤️ The Queen’s back is not so functional today… So her speed is the deal of the day😅 It’s a good opportunity to have some frolex, Nike, YSL in fake😂😂 So you can wear Gucci, Prada & Hugo Boss on budget😆 The shopping area/city is Turkish 🇹🇷 salesman😜 So be prepared for a long line of sales along your route. After 3 hours of sales and a walk to the fortress, the Queen was ready to go back onboard.
