Jim that's really a Great Ide! And as @Northern Aurora says.... she should indeed test her own product. In the survey for our b2b last cruise, I added a link to my live and said that they should consider to read it for closer information on what's going on in real life... Particularly how you meet and greet people. And that the first impression is something we really were not impressed by in SS. I hope she gets the "warm" and cosy welcome we had🤣🤣

🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻 looks great ❤️ Best of luck for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 Cheers to water and 🍉🍹 Fingers crossed you feel better soon❤️

I could not find it…. I searched in Al Bacio, OceanViev, in sugar selection on the table in MDR. None…. If I have some sugar in my coffee, I never use white sugar. It’s only brown sugar.

Future Cruise I know some of you wonder what we think about the future and what have we booked???? We still feel that X is a decent option for us. So we have some cruises on our plan. But I do pay attention to other lines itineraries. We are seeking towards the more special ones. And we have understood that we need to look at other lines to be able to get what we want. We are open minded for almost anything. If you go into it eyes open and don’t pre judgment, I think we can survive on many other lines🤓😌👍🏻 We are eager to try out Silversea, Hurtigruten Expeditions, HAL, Fred Olsen and Windstar. We will do a Caribbean cruise for the Easter 🐣 on X. It’s a b2b on Equinox. 10+9 days from Fort Lauderdale. (We have sailed on EQ 3 or 4 times before) It’s just straight forward sun, heat and beach😎 Next up is the Queens holiday! The Queen and I will do a 10-night sailing on Infinity from Athen, Greek 🇬🇷 & 🇹🇷 Turkey in May. We do have a overnight in Istanbul🥰 Then I just run home to work for 5 weeks ish to go back on Infinity for a 7-days Greek 🇬🇷 sailing from Athens by Mr & our 15year old nephew🥰 In September I’m bringing my cousin…. She is my “little” sister I don’t have❤️ She really wanted to try a cruise and have asked for years if we can go together… So here we are…. A 9–night Greek 🇬🇷 island cruise on Infinity from Athens😂🇬🇷 So 2024 will be a year in Greece 🇬🇷 for me😂😂😂😂 For Christmas 2024 we will escape! Then we will sail on Millennium from Singapore to Bali. We are already counting down to the next Christmas 🎅🏻 This is really a beautiful sailing we are looking forward to❤️ It will be a combo of land tour + cruise. Planning is in the making🤓🤭 We know we will spend 1 week on Bali after our cruise. But we are in the planning phase if we can do something special before our cruise somewhere else then Singapore 🇸🇬 (since we have visited several times) We are thinking about Chang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭 or Siem Riep, Cambodia 🇰🇭…. Time will tell…. 2025 is a busy year😂😂😂 My father in law is turning 70 years old during the easter 🐣 SO NO cruise or warmer weather holiday…. He will definitely celebrate in the north of 🇳🇴 Norway…. The Queen is turning 60🙈 Yes I know🥳 In September. She has made it clear that she wants to do something fun for her birthday. And that she doesn’t want a party. She wants to go away on a cruise or something similar… She really wants a river cruise in Asia( Vietnam) or a Mediterranean cruise by the close family. So we will see how to tackle this one😅 We have 15 years wedding anniversary in October 2025…. So YES 🙌🏻 we need to celebrate in style🥳🥳🥳 For those who have followed the Galapagos lives… you see where this is going😎 We are booked for 10-days tour package on Xpedition🐢🐠🐡🦭 I have followed the lives and I’m confident that this is a great sailing and adventure for us🥰 So we do have some things on our plan… I do have an open/moveable b2b on Xcel during the Easter 🐣 2026… it’s in the Caribbean… so nothing exotic. So we will see if we go for a new ship adventure or if we change it to an Asia adventure… Bon Voyage!

Reality kicked in quickly🥶🥶🥶🥶first morning… (it’s in Celsius) Well, it’s winter ❄️ My parents in law had -26😝 This is just to round up our adventure on Edge and som final words from me & Mr❤️🤓 Would we sail this itinerary again? YES Has there been issues with immigration and customs? YES Did it affect us? NJA… not to bad. So you see…. We can’t had the worst time onboard🤓🥰 Entertainment was really a huge success! Shoreside booking was really on the ball for our 26.nights. The first part from Rome to Dubai was literally a walk of power how to do it! Live music onboard was great and Charlie the pub/guitar consept was great. (It fitted well for the demographic onboard AND the mix of nationalities) I don’t know how aware you are when you go cruising, but the cocktail of nationalities change the vibes onboard in different ways. We as the underdog in guest counts feel this change of vibe very well. It’s nothing wrong or bad. But if you have a cruise full of Americans, the vibe is very American 🇺🇸 and we can definitely see and feel it. On this cruise it was a load of AUS & NZ and British. It’s a completely different vibe and it’s a little differently from sailing in the Caribbean. We like to think we are all similar… but it is a difference for some things🙃 I must admit as the Norwegian 🇳🇴 I am, we feel very cosy and “home” when we sail on ships loaded by British and NZ/AUS🥰 it’s just something about it🇬🇧🇳🇴🇳🇿🇦🇺 Well, back to our cruise! The port talks/destination talks by CD Guiseppe. He did an excellent job and this is absolutely necessary to have during a cruise like this. It’s a great way to learn something about the process of immigration and customs. And to have a small teaser of what to expect. (Not everyone is up to date on ports and what to expect…I know I have a black belt in organising😅) And the man can talk, be serious and fun at the same time😂😜🤓 So definitely something to KEEP for the future if they do a similar cruise! CD Guiseppe is fantastic! ❤️ nothing more or less🤩 (the activity team also needs a big applause 👏🏻 Dominique is so fun, he rules the YES/NO game🤣🤣) Captain Matt is a wonderful person. He is really a great leader of the vessel. Together he and CD Guiseppe are dynamic dynamite 🧨 Food has delivered (some hit and misses on the way) But the overall quality and experience has delivered. OceanView has offered a great mix of dishes and the bread/bakery items has tasted great 👍🏻 Mr said it after a week… after all cruise on X this is definitely the best cruise for bakery items. The bread do taste good and have the right texture and taste as of home. Really good! (And this Mr do eat a lot of bread😜) Staterooms have been as booked…. The infinite veranda is not my cup of tea 🤭 Mr on the other side said 👍🏻 YES… So I see a sign of conflicting interests for the future🤭 The balcony in the SS was definitely my cup of tea. Mr loved the tub for his 🦆🦆. But other than that, we are fine in a smaller room “steerage class”🤭😂😂 We can manage on smaller space. We are used to having limited space😝 The Retreat They say, once you tried it, you want go back…. Well, I’m very sorry to say….. We will go back/stay in “steerage class” We can in some areas see the great things but on other areas we are very much underwhelmed. The prices they have is increasing to levels far over the el cheapo accounting paying will. So this strikes it out from start to finish🥸 My expectation and our stay in a SS didn’t come to meet my expectations. It was a miss/match for us. I don’t think we are demanding? It was just so “cold” This was sailing number 20 on X. So when we walked the gangway in Dubai this was for the 20 time on X…. So you do know what to expect and kinda how things work on the ship. This was the “coldest” welcome we ever had on any cruise ship. (And I’m not speaking of the great security officer on the gangway pinging us onboard and welcoming us back again🥰) We didn’t see or meet anyone from housekeeping or the retreat team. We needed to hunt them down. Our stateroom (suite as they politely reference to) had visible signs of lack of cleaning. It was obviously a job in a hurry. Really underwhelming and really a bit of a turnoff to start the sailing in a suite. This impression didn’t come off, we felt it was like booking a “biz” ticket on a low cost airline and expecting SQ Singapore Airlines 5* service. (We know they can’t make SQ to the ankles😝) But SS is sold and marketed as a suite. But the service from housekeeping and the “retreat” team are not good if this is the way you greet & meet new guests onboard. It just sat the tone…. At least say hello to your guests in a decent time after they arrive on the ship and make them feel welcome❤️ Go thru basic details of services and point out how X can make them feel comfortable and welcome. Luminae has great crew. But the layout of the restaurant makes it noisy and very difficult to enjoy the meal during rush hours. The food was great on some days and off for our tasting other days… We feel the Blu menu is more to our liking. Due to more vegetables and fish/seafood options. Other than this issue, we overall had a great time. We loved India & Sri Lanka. We need to go back on a land tour. Tours via X, shore excursions worked well. It’s safe and works well. Private tours in India worked great. So a great cruise!

Thank you for a great report from Galapagos! I really feel we made the correct choice of booking for Galapagos. Looking forward to this adventure in 2025🙌 Safe travel home! We arrived home to Norway yesterday after our Edge adventure🥰

Happy Anniversary! Looks like they took good care of you on your day🥰 Have a great sailing🙌

It's a DB Hugger 25L and 30L. We have one each. https://us.dbjourney.com/collections/backpacks We enjoy them. They have several types, depending on your needs.

The cats has just been picked up from grandmas house..... They has a purring seremoni when I arrived. And they have purred loudly all the way home in the car🥰 So now it will be a cat blanket for the rest of the week🤣🥰

From Singapore to Bangkok Thai airways flew a B777-300ER. It’s a wide body aircraft. 2-classes Biz/Eco configuration. They use this aircraft on routes BKK-CPH/ARN daily. Biz seats are 1-2-1 and economy is 3-3-3. We had award fare tickets in ECO from SIN-BKK-CPH. We had seats 37DF for SIN-BKK. We crossed fingers for empty middle seat😇 YES. So happy for some extra space. Flight time 1.55h. We unfortunately had to wait in line for departure in SIN. So we stood almost 25.minutes after pushing from gate. The service from SIN to BKK was a full dinner service. They have a free bar of sodas, juices, wine and drinks. Salad, choice of Chicken Ginger or Shrimp Chilli and cake for dessert. We had one of each main course. Thai serve Thai style food mainly. But it’s tasty and has flavours. So catering is very good and absolutely one of their strengths of service. On routes to Europe/BKK they always have a European option and Thai meal for service. We arrived a little after schedule in BKK. It was lots of traffic and we needed to wait for our gate. I said to Mr when we taxed into our parking space… I bet we will have this aircraft to Copenhagen😜 (well guess what?) BKK airport is run down. Don Muang, the old was a disaster before the new airport opened…. But it was definitely to small already during the opening ceremony🫠 and it’s really showing off. The wear and tear is very visible. It’s getting worse and worse every time I go there🙄 We had around 50.minutes to kill before next flight after clearing transit security control. Off course our flight was the aircraft we arrived on😂😂😂 So back to starting point😜 We took a detour via Thai Airways Gold Lounge. (This I know is completely worn down. It’s in desperate need of TLC) Singapore Airlines lounges on Changi is a million times better in all ways. Picked up some water and had some ice cream for snack before we walked over to our gate. The flight was delayed a few minutes. They needed maintenance to change some seat covers. When we flew from Sin to BKK 3 ladies travelling together sat 3 rows in front of us. They literally emptied a full tray of dinner, beverage and dessert over them self😳🫣 They delivered special meals and after the crew had dropped off the tray and walked away they decided to change their seating and in this situation they lifted the tray upside down onto them self and the seating. So it was all wet and covered in food🫣🤯😱😳 So we need to change those seat covers before boarding. Route departure was 00.30 but we pushed 00.40. Flight was completely fully booked. Lots of families and small children. We had someone seated on our row, so Mr had to sacrifice his seat, then it’s better to sit next too each other. Saturday night flight home to Scandinavia is definitely something we try to avoid. It’s always fully booked. (Everyone is going to work on Monday) Flight time to Copenhagen was 11h 55.minutes. Operating on our B777-300ER we had from Sin. We had seats 34AC but ended up on 34AB. Tonight’s service was 3-course dinner. Main course was chicken mussangmum (Thai) or linguine shrimp (Europe). Salad and dessert was banana cake. Same beverage selection as from Singapore. Captain announced that we had a strong wind and that we would be delayed into Copenhagen by around 45.minutes and that we would have some turbulence on our way. So please fasten seatbelts over your blanket. This is a pure night flight. Everyone is tired and ready for bed on departure. So dinner service is quick and simple compared to departure from Europe to Asia. Food is the same, but it’s faster speed in terms of time. Daytime they do pre dinner cocktail/beverage and then dinner. On night departures for Europe like this, they do dinner and settle the cabin for sleeping mode. They dim lights all away and ask people to shut off the reading lights in the ceiling. So it’s dark and good for sleeping. I do really appreciate that TG and SQ have this policy. It makes it so much easier and better for everyone to have a decent rest onboard. We fell asleep almost before they collected the dinner trays. We had a decent sleep until they woke up the cabin 1h 50.minutes before arrival in Copenhagen. So a decent 8h + in sleep. Then they served western breakfast. It’s definitely not a bad breakfast. It’s a hot breakfast of cheese omelette, fried potatoes, grilled sausage and broccoli. And yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissant and jam/butter. And juices, water, coffee or tea. We landed in Copenhagen at 07.15. We went straight to transit security check and Schengen border crossing. Scanned our passport and went thru in 5.minutes. When we landed in Copenhagen I received a message from SAS. Our flight onward to Oslo was delayed by 30.mins. So we went to the SAS lounge. As we entered, I received a new message… flight delayed another 30.minutes. New departure 09.05. Flight was delayed from Gdańsk…. They had snow🤭 So we had some time to fresh up in the lounge and have some coffee. Flight was operated on a A320 3+3 Plus/Go Same type as we flew down to Rome on. Since our flight was delayed, it was still served Scandinavia breakfast. At 09.10 we did push from Copenhagen and 10.30 we did park at Oslo Airport. Bags was the first on the belt and we were on the train home at 11.13. So at 12.00 we walked in our door🏡 The house was still standing😊 I did unpack our suitcases and put on the laundry we had brought home. So we were occupied for some hours🙃 At 21.30 we went to bed.

Happy Birthday🥳🥳🥳🥂🍓🎂

We are boarding now for Oslo🇳🇴 So we will be home in our house in 2,5-3h from now❤️ Monday morning is back to reality🤣🤣👌🏻 But I have done some emails and papers for work during our trip. So it will be fine😊 The best thing is that we are arriving from Asia. It’s the easiest way to turn around the clock. So jet lag is not a problem here. What is the worst is that the chef, housekeeper and secretary has a full schedule at work and at home😂😂🤣 aka ME🙈 Its 1 of advent today!!!! So I need to just run home and start putting up the advent decorations and lights🤩

Hello🇩🇰 from Copenhagen our flight to Oslo is 1.5h delayed🙃 Happy to hear you are safe onboard❤️ Sorry for the delay in boarding. My stomach told me it would be similar issues in Sin🙈 @Northern Aurora sorry for your experience in b2b issues❤️ Looking forward for the updates🤩

When in Singapore 🇸🇬 Must-do…. Hawker market for some food😋 We need to eat something… Mr found a local brew beer 🍺 Some scampi soup, dumplings and chicken rice😋😋😋 We went to Maxwell hawker, so we could walk thru Chinatown on the way. (It’s always fun) After the food coma kicked in, it was time to head for Changi Airport. We took the metro. This works like a clock🙃 Christmas has arrived🎄🎄🎄 Our bags were waiting at the designated pick up point. It was just around the corner from early check-in area by Jewel shopping. Thai Airways uses Terminal 1, counter 4. They don’t open check-in until 3h before departure…. (And this is very important! The majority of airlines that operate at Changi have early counter in Jewel. So you can drop your bags AND they will issue boarding passes) You can drop off many hours before👌🏻 So you can check in, you just need to proceed to this area! We dropped off our bags and received boarding passes to Oslo for all 3 flights. All checked and all cleared at 17.00. So then we walked over to Singapore Airlines Kris Flyer Gold Lounge T3. My Star Alliance *G gives us access. They have full shower facilities, food and drinks. It’s a little bit less fancy than the Biz lounge. But still a very good lounge. Extremely happy for a shower after our beach trip. So now we are “ready” for our trip home🇳🇴 Our first flight leaves to Bangkok, BKK 21.00. Next flight from BKK to Copenhagen, CPH leaves 00.50 in the night. In CPH we arrive 06.35 and last flight home to Oslo leave 08.05.

We went for breakfast at 07.25 in Luminae. Mr had some fruit and crepes. I had berries, yogurt and my cereal. Around 08.00 we went downstairs to collect our backpacks 🎒 and headed up to the retreat. It was several people waiting for tours to depart and b2b process. Janell escorted us and some other guests down to the gangway on deck 5. We pinged off the ship for the last time…. It’s always a bit sad to say goodbye 👋🏻 We walked down to the terminal building and meet the line for immigration. It took us 30.minutes to clear immigration. YES, there were people in line not holding the Singapore arrival cards filled in. They see it asap when they scanned passports. So they were sent outside to get it in order and then put back in line after finishing. We walked further down to collect our bags, screening them thru customs and then we were ready for our day😊 So it took around 45.minutes from we pinged off until we were ready. Since our flight leaves 21.00 tonight, we had decided to use the baggage service from the port to Change Airport. You deliver your bags in the arrival hall of the cruise terminal and they take it to the airport. You pick up your bags at your requested time. They deliver to all 3 terminals🙂 2bags was 50$ SGD They can also store or deliver to hotels in Singapore. Our plan for today is Sentosa island for a beach trip🏝️🏖️ Deliverys for Edge waiting to enter the port: So we walked to the metro station and took us to Sentosa transit station. We took the metro mover over to the island. It’s 4$ SGD pr person. You can just tap your card at the station. Same as for the metro. Beach is the last station on the line. We walk in direction of Siloso beach. It’s public beach and it’s free. Changing/toilets areas are available everywhere. And it’s lifeguard duty. As Jim has mentioned, Sentosa is the party/fun island for Singapore. So plenty of bars, restaurants, resorts, Universal studios etc. I would rate it as going to Niagara Falls for fun🏖️🎡🎠 A good way to kill some hours and have a swim in the ocean😎 last for this year😝

Good morning! We had a 🐉🐲🇸🇬 welcome party! welcome onboard👍🏻 We are packing out❤️

A very good morning ladies & gentlemen! Singapore 🇸🇬 is making sure everyone is waking up🐲🐉 Starboard side as we approached the pier had a full party on 😜 IMG_1592.mov

Back to our dinner……. The menu tonight was looking good 👍🏻 We went for asparagus, salmon and cod. Oh my….. The asparagus was so tasteless. Like really tasteless. Like nada flavours😳 out the back door 🚪 The salmon was tasty and good 👍🏻 The cod 🐟🐟🐟 Remember we go fishing? This piece of fish is definitely not a cod. It arrived, we had a look on the skin and we said in twins: this doesn’t look as a cod…. Strange…. Its tasted definitely not as a cod. This is something else…. It was too fatty and the structure of the fish was wrong. It was like a halibut, but not really a pure one… just very strange. As we sat there, cutlery 🍴 plated as we were done, trying to get contact to get some attention from crew….. Supervisor was running to 🙈 hide… we tried to get him to us, but he knew what the “el fishermen from Norway” probably had to say🤣🤣🤣 We had to laugh, they probably did a stone, rock and scissor behind the wall🤣🤣🤣 since this was plate nr 2 not very successful this evening🤪🤪🤪 So it went out the back door 🚪🤭 our waiter had a light panic attack…. (Brilliant way to end our evening, cruise scores of food/luminae -10 in his eyes 👀) We asked for something else on the menu… because we were hungry…. So he said beef & fettuccine 😋 After a little while it arrived on the table🙃 From hell to heaven tonight😂😜😋 This was definitely 💯 Flavours and just excellent 👌🏻 Tonight’s dessert menu: Mr had the chocolate dessert and I ice cream. Both tasted good 👍🏻

So, our cards for first part of our b2b had not arrived to our cabin…. Mr asked for them yesterday. No cards on our door during today… So at 19.00 we asked again in the retreat😣 Well, here’s the problem… since we didn’t stay in the retreat last part of our b2b…. They don’t have the cards in their possession…. So after some phones and Physical movement, the cards arrived in the retreat🤩 we just sat down on a sofa with a pre dinner drink😆 so no sorrow for us😅 They had our cards in guest relations🙈 We are satisfied and have our cruise cards for both cruises in hand👍🏻👍🏻 After the search of cruise cards we decided to go for dinner at 20.00. We arrived during rush hours. But we had plenty of time🙃 So no stress😅 We had a table on I-95 but not an awful location. The most bothersome is people unpacking or packing plates and cutlery. Today’s menu: Chefs delight:

There are now bad weather😁 it’s just bad clothes😎 So we went to the retreat pool deck. It was only a super light drizzle and it slowly cleared up😉 We sat in the gray sun and enjoyed ourselves. This is a day you get mega lobster 🦞 if you think the light is not sharp. (Believe me, the uv is out😎) We took a dip in the pools, the gelato walk served cassis gelato😋 Cheers to a great holiday 🥂 Around 15.15 we decided that it was time to go inside. We took a Clark-Kent and went for some afternoon tea and pick up the passports😌 Will really miss the opportunity to sit outside in shorts and a light shirt 👚… its a long time until next time🥶😎 We asked for our cruise cards from last sailing yesterday. They have still not arrived…. (We always need to deliver them to the gangway and then they return them back) we want our cards to our stack of cards 🃏 Now it’s time for me to do luggage 🧳 Mr will have a last date by the ducks 🦆 Then it’s time to enjoy the last evening onboard for this time💙⚓️💙 When they changed from breakfast to lunchtime, it’s the day of their “dress to impress” cakes, food and decorations was rolling out🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩵

😅 sorry for laughing this is really the worst nightmare when you plan to use it😳 We have extra batteries. So this has saved us. But our old GoPro just died on holiday. It was working perfectly and suddenly it was just completely dead 🫠 It was kaput☠️🙈 This was during our NZ advanced experience🙈 So we called a store and ordered a new one for pickup!

Good morning from a wet and humid sea day! It’s showers off/on. I was awake to my normal time… Mr was half way dead😜 So it was buffet breakfast on the last minutes (together by lots of others🤣🤣) Mr had his usual omelette and had my milk, apricot and cereal. It’s dry by the windows on the balcony. So we could sit outside😉 On our door, the letter for passport delivery had arrived. I was surprised it wasn’t on our bed already when we arrived back yesterday…. At some point we needed to get them back😝 Well, make the best of it🤩 What to do? Jacuzzi, shopping, live music, have some martinis? Well, as the big drinker I am, martinis are out😅 I think we will hit the pool for a dip😎

Cruise Compass Day 12. Sea Day. Time change to Singapore time +1h.

We love Thailand for The seafood options😍 In Hua Hin they have a great selection also. One of our favourites are flambé mussels and fish garlic 🧄 then a hole fish is covered and baked in garlic boats. Mmm really 😋 and scampi and lobster on the grill is never a bad option😋😋😋 We both like Thai style food. (Only thing is not to spicy for Mr😅) I have changed my dinner several times to save him from hot hell🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🌶️

Phuket 🇹🇭 Oh, what a day😎🇹🇭 I ❤️ love Thailand 🇹🇭 I have visited every year since 2005 at least once a year. Only time not during Covid😩 I always go to Hua Hin. This was the first time in Phuket and we decided to go all-in for Phi Phi island. Tour was via the ship. I was in contact for private tours, but docking times was not good for making it back in time to the ship. (Very good decision!) It was 4 groups on our tour today. 25/26 guests in each group. So 4 buses/speed boats. We left the theatre on time and took the tender to land. The pier in Phuket is long, so a far way to walk before you are on land. (Important to know if you have a walking issue) Our tour guide was waiting a far stretch of walking from the pier. The tour numbers started at 39 on the pier end and we needed to go to nr 3😂😂😂 From there we needed to walk to the bus parking… So a decent tour on foot before we left for the bus👍🏻😂😎 You need to take a bus from this pier to another pier. It took 40.mins in the morning. At the pier they had toilets, water and coffee available to all guests. The speedboat ride is 1h to Phi Phi. Our first foto stop was the famous “the beach” movie spot. A million boats and people on the beach😂🇹🇭😎 Onward we moved to the caves. Foto stop. Then we continued to our snorkel reef. The reef was okay 👌🏻 lots of fish and decent visibility. For us a good time🐠🐟🐡 the water was warm and perfect for snorkelling 🤿 Not everyone on our boat had snorkel experience, so it was some arms and legs hitting wildly around the reef. Our guide did a great job explaining how to snorkel for them and helping them out into the water. After 45.minutes in the water, we moved onward to lunch. It was a Thai 🇹🇭 buffet. They served the classics from the Thai food. It tasted excellent 👌🏻 After lunchtime it was time to move onward to last stop. A little island you could snorkel 🤿 or just swim on the beach. At 16.30 it was departure time for our boat trip back to the pier. 1 h travel time on the boat again. On the pier, it was back on the bus. Due to rush hours, the guide said minimum 1h. So if everything was going well, we would be back in town to 18.30…. Well…. 😜 you probably understand where this is going🤣🤣🤣 We parked in the city centre 19.15… so after last tender😝 Not a huge problem, 100 people just from our Phi Phi groups…. And other ship tours were also delayed. So we arrived on the ship 20.00🙂 And still several tenders left to go before everyone was back onboard. The ship was ready to departure around 21.00. Then we raised the anchor ⚓️ and started to move. We needed to shower off and change. We decided quickly that tonight is buffet time…. We had a great Thai food luncheon and we had no interest of dressing up to Luminae…. Just to much to do after a long day😎 In the buffet, the rest of the ship was going also😝🤪🤣🤣🤣 Everyone was late back onboard😅 They had an Asian theme tonight and thanksgiving turkey. So plenty of options for everyone. Mr went for Ramen and I had some nachos😊 We had a great day to Phi Phi. We will definitely do an overnight there if we travel to Phuket on holiday. It was a long day and it’s lots of transportation. So keep that in mind. I will go thru the GoPro footage later tonight. Maybe Nemo is caught on tape🙃🐠🐟🐡
