CruiseCompass November 1. Time change +1h

So, last guest arrived on time… But the guide on bus 6 called our guide… they where missing people🙄 We returned to the port 20.15. They did check seapass card and foto id at the entrance of the port. Then it was a long line for security onboard on deck 2….. So no quick directions for dinner😅 And as the “villain” I am…. My purse was taken aside after scanning🫠 I had to empty everything out downstairs: This was what my purse contained🫡 I made a reservation for cosmopolitan restaurant when we arrived at the ship for 21.15. (You need ship WiFi to be able to book dinner reservations) We ran upstairs to do a “Clark Kent” before dinner. We had changed, showered and was ready to go downstairs for dinner at 20.55. They where expecting us when we walked up to say hello 👋🏻 We received a lovely table by the window. Assistant waiter arrived asap, lay down the napkins, delivered menus and took preference of water. Off to a very good start👍🏻 Sommelier arrived quick and was very welcoming and on the ball for wishes. I had my glass of white and Mr had red🍷 Main waiter arrived, told us that tonight they had Butter Chicken available also. It was not on the menu. Mr went for the Yellow corn soup, chop chop salad and cod. I ordered salmon gravlax and cod. The cod was perfect! Flaked as It should and combined by the sauce and quinoa it was balanced in taste. It was definitely 10/10🥳 The Gravelax was really a walk of shame…. A prime example of how not to do it😬 The fish was so salty, it was a salmon herring🤣🤣🤣 Where is the dill??? NOT a gravelax. (This is something we eat regularly in Scandinavia…. So I almost feel offended of this one😝🫣🫥🫠) I had the same on Voyager of the seas on a Baltic cruise in May 2022. Then it was perfect! It was a real gravelax homemade. So step up the game on this one Chefs🥸 The soup and salad was good according to Mr. Today’s dessert: We went both for the 🥕 carrot cake😋 It was really good, tasty and moist🥰 After dinner I was ready for bedtime 🥱 Mr was keen on an after dinner drink. So he went to the Martini bar and I went upstairs to bed😴😴😴😴

So our tour had meeting time 14.45 in the theatre. It’s 6 busses for Taormina by your self. We were on bus nr 4. We were able to walk off the ship around 15.05. The traffic was bad already from the port. So we didn’t arrive Taormina until 16.35 parking area. So that means nobody would be able to visit the park or amfi theatre😔 I’m very sorry for all those people who never visited before❤️ We stayed 3-nights her and know what to see and do. Our return time from parking lot was 19.10. I really recommend doing a full island tour. It’s so easy to fill 14 days😅 The pottery is amazing, I love them😍 (you see them in White 🪷 Lotus) So much to see… so little time😝 We had no big plans, go for a walk and Mr wanted a local 🍺 beer. We took the shopping streets, passing “White 🪷 Lotus” 4 season hotel and went by some of the churches ⛪️ Off course we had a Sicilian cannoli😋 After our little walking, it was time for 🍻 from Sicilia and a limoncello spritz🍹 Then it was time to hit the bus for transport back to the ship⚓️ We are now waiting for the last guest to arrive….

There are some carpets that are changed. They are now fluffy and loose “hair”. The carpet on deck 4 is like a cat in shredding season😂😂🐈🐈🐈 The other carpets in public has definitely been thru a deep clean. The colour is clear/strong and they are all soft to walk on😉

I, know👍🏻 if in doubt, I always have a look there. I checked the tv and it was still showing Italy 🇮🇹 time… So I was 🤔 something is not completely correct😜 and a lot of people were 🤔🤔🤔 since this was in the cruise compass yesterday… They posted it on wrong day😝 It’s a first for this error onboard for us😆

Our time before our tour was uneventful… We went upstairs to the pool area. It was almost nobody there at 10.30…. So we took 2 loungers by the pool😎 we wanted to have a little sun and some downtime for reading before we are leaving for our tour. Nice to just lay down and just relax a bit🥰 I walked over to the spa, wanted to book a pedicure for tomorrow. Appointment is ✔️ Our tour has meeting time 14.45 in the theatre. At 13.00 we decided to go to lunch. We went to Eden. Mr wanted to eat there at the outdoor terrace. Both had the mushroom soup. I had tuna pita and Mr had a meat sandwich. All tasted excellent and nobody was hungry before departure for our tour…. (Bad timing, needed to charge both phones😂 so now food pictures😂) We are ready for our tour😎 Mr is having some entertainment while waiting for our tour🪝they are loading.

😁 as of now we are all good! That’s why I had prepared a letter to Captain’s Club. So he/she is aware and can help us out to get it updated before the auto system deliver the points in 2 weeks time😉 Since we boarded this sailing at 741 and we will officially be on next level from Dubai. It’s not the underground of the world if it’s not fixed…. We get more laundry😂😂

Unfortunately our phone do not have a panel…. So no time🤣🤣 But they “up speed” the time change by an error. So for Greece, it’s definitely a time change😉 So we follow Italy/European time✔️

So my day started 05.30 Italian 🕰️ time… But the ship wanted us to go to Greek time during the night🤪🫡 according to the newspaper…. Really don’t get why? But captains order! Ai, Ai, Captain⚓️ So that meant +1h forward 06.30. My app didn’t show Greek time. (I did update but still Italy time) I read the newspaper online to wake up and decided to go for a walk outside on deck. Since Mr was all dead😴😴😴 So a hour of power walk was a great start! I meet several guests asking me, what time is it? Is it Greek or Italy time? Everyone had not received new time in app and on tv🙄 I can report that the trees and flowers in the rooftop garden is real and all good🌳🌴🌱🌵🪴 Very happy for them🍁🍁🍁 On my way down I picked up some coffee in Al Bacio OceanView and went to wake up Mr and raise the blind….. My was still sleeping 💤 (here is where the touch panel by the bathroom door comes in handy😁) Just push the button for morning and it’s a Rise & Shine to you🤩 Good Morning Mr, this is your wake up call! After waiting for Mr and getting ready for breakfast we ended up in OceanView (YES, you know my hate object nr 1😵‍💫) Mr wanted to go there… what not to sacrifice for your loved one❤️ We meet housekeeping on our way, I asked what time are we on? He said it was an error in the newspaper yesterday. We are using Italy 🇮🇹 time today🤣🤣🤣 After arrival in a full OceanView they announced on the PA system: the time is Italy time 09.30😅🕰️ (Something tells me they had received lots of calls🤣🤣🤣) Mr was a happy camper, Omelett made to order, toasted bread, herring and oj🥰 I went for yoghurt and fruits. Today’s plan is Taormina. We have booked the shuttle/ tour Taormina on your own via X. We have visited before🥰 So no big plans, only having a good time🤩

Cruise Compass for day 2. Late arrival in Sicilia 14.00. And paperwork from sales department🤓

Tonight’s show was Andrew Derbyshire. He’s from 🇬🇧 UK. The man can sing and he’s preforming by the Edge orchestra. But the show was a little off for both me and Mr. So a decent start, but really hope they tune up the vibe🎶 Orchestra did an excellent job, so I have faith that they will deliver lots of great music to further guest entertainment. The man, the legend, Mr Mafia, our “Goodfather” of Edge, Cruise Director Guiseppe, aka The crazy Italian started the show tonight🇮🇹 So happy to have him onboard. After the show we decided to go to dinner. We hadn’t made a reservation, so we were prepared for a queue an a beeper. Mr wanted to have dinner in Cyprus, deck 4 We went in line and got a beeper. We walked back to Al Bacio to get a glass of wine and a pre drink for Mr. After 10. Minutes our beeper started to dance🎶🎶🎶 We got a table in the middle of Cyprus. We were escorted to the table off a lovely lady, she took out the chair, placed napkins, handed the menu and handed us over to our team for tonight. (Well done, not all “follow” people do this👏🏻) Tonight’s menu: Mr was hungry and was more half full after the late salad for lunch… So we agreed on a shared Meze plate in the middle. And then Mr had: tartare, grilled shrimp and lamb. I went for caprese and Wild mushroom Vol-au-vent. All tasted excellent and service was fine. Alpha sommelier was running by after Mr asked for wine to his main course. The man can speak on in & out breathe😂😂😂 So this can be fun later in Cyprus. For dessert I went for the Cyprus exclusive, Galaktobourko. And Mr got frosty 🥶 ice bomb 💣 After dinner, we went to bed. I was deadly tired after a little more stressful day than planned. My only downtime was the train ride and during the show😅 And remember, all those steps on land and then (I lost count) of all those stairs up and down on the ship🦾🦾🦾🦾 ( no regrets on my gelato and dessert today😂)

So well, we are on the ship❤️ Let’s rewind ⏪ to the 🚂 train. Arrival in Civitavecchia was on time 12.53. Our plan was to walk to the ship/complimentary cruise shuttle from the port gate. As we are walking towards the pier, we do understand by the Michelangelo fortress that we are not docked at 12b as port schedule shows online at the port authority. So we have a recheck on marine traffic…🧐 Oh, what do I see??? Gate 25😝 That’s the loooong away terminal🫣 So we changed our direction to the port gate for terminal 25…. It’s a far stretch and it’s not as flat and good for walking as of to 12/13 etc. So partly sweaty and warm we arrived at the port gate. We arrived at the port gate and boarded the bus asap. It was us and 4 other guests and some crew. But it was packed in the tent terminal. Lots of people😳 lots of buses arriving. Normally everyone is onboard when we arrive… But the check in went quick in the terminal. They did not check a single thing. No India/Sri Lanka visa or take in the passport. (So much for sending out the email telling us clearly that b2b needed everything ready for Rome😜) So this will be fun at some point…. We walked out on the pier and the line was long to the gangway. It moved slowly. The reason was a line for the 🛗 lift from deck 2. Once onboard we walked the stairs from deck 2 to deck 12 to find our stateroom. We are in a concierge stateroom aft deck 12. As we opened our seapass cards, I asap discovered that I’m not registered as a captain’s club member😳 Mr had Elite and everything in order…. Paperwork on arrival in the stateroom: We decided to solve the captain’s club problem first, then go for a small lunch…. (Not a smart decision😝) I was on the border of hangry. (You know Italian sugar is not food for a Viking from the north😆) The line to captain’s club was not too long, only 3 people in front of me… but they all had a long list… Captain’s Club Gertruida did her best. Mr didn’t want to wait… So I said he could go. (Guess what he was up to😜🍹) I took 25.mins before it was my turn, and it became my turn due to concierge Marcella arrived to help. I told her my issue and had my number ready… Well, she was multitasking calls from captain club members and trying to solve my problem. Not very effective… So it took 3 try outs to be able to register my number and get it correct…. Since I was there, I did bring my envelope to captain’s club hostess. For the next sailing. Since we will pass Elite Plus on Wednesday this sailing and it will be valid for next leg of our journey Dubai to Singapore. The concierge wondered why I had a notification to Captain’s club. I told her why and it was easier to “warning” them now and everything would be in order on next sailing. She didn’t understand… So fingers crossed she delivered it to Gertruida🤓 She was on the ball from what 👀 while waiting….. Next stop was then guest relations…. Captain’s club and Concierge could not replace my card… So down to deck 3 I went…. Yes, the line was looooooong. Another 20.minutes in line and finally a new card in hand🥳 Time to find Mr🤪🍹 He reported back, I’m in Eden. So up to Eden it went🫡 Mr was enjoying some live music and overall had a horrible time🤭😅😂 We were no finally ready for some lunch😊 A bit fashionable late…. 16.00😅 So we went up to OceanView to have some salad. Cake, salads and paella, pasta and pizza was available. After the late lunch we headed downstairs to our stateroom. One of two luggage’s had arrived at 17.00. Luckily it was mine🥰 So I could empty it and takes shower🥰 The other didn’t arrive until 18.00 Our housekeeper stopped by to introduce himself, Mustofa. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for excellent service🥰 Tonight’s plan is show 19.00 +dinner.

Well, a very good morning! What day is it? It’s CRUISING day⚓️🚢🥳🥳🥳 But you know, we will not stand as first in line to board the ship😝 We started the day for breakfast at 08.00. It was a bit chaotic, we were arriving just after a big rush🤪🤪🤪 So everything was empty. So it was a faulty tower 🇬🇧 demonstration of how not to handle it🤣🤣🤣 We took some corn flakes and got a cappuccino each. We went back to our room, had a phone meeting by our contractor for our renovation plans and at 08.50 we were ready for a walk outside. We walked over to Piazza Della Republica, went into Basilica de Santa Maria degli Angeli. The church is big, some of the paintings are taken down for renovation. After visiting the basilica, we continued onward to XX Settembre and continued in direction of Trevi fountain. We walked by Santa Maria Della Vittoria We stopped by a shop in the pedestrian area. ( I didn’t get it yesterday and regretted) After the shopping, we needed to speed up to get back to our hotel in time for check out 11.00. We were there on the minute, picked up the bags and backpacks from our room. We walked our little 8.minute walk to Termini and decided we had earned a gelato 🍨 After finishing our gelato we went to our train. We had booked tickets for the 11.42 train . Trains to Civitavecchia leaves from track 27. It’s the remote track…. So you need to walk a fair distance from the other tracks to get there. So you can’t arrive last minute. The train will leave you behind. We are now safely installed on the train and on our way to the port⚓️ Tags, visas, passports and boarding pass is all ready for inspection 🧐

So, after a snack and a little break. We were ready to walk a little more. We had 1 h before our food tour started. It was meeting on Isla Tiberina. We walked to Basilica Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. Beautiful decorations and painting. Mr wanted to stop by a gentleman store… He wanted a thin sweater. The store was just next to the Largo di Torre Argentina. Here you will see lots of 🐈 cats 🐈‍⬛ in the ruins. After shopping, we needed to walk to our meeting point. The check in for our tour worked well. The guide and the group was ready on time and off we went🙃 Our guide for the evening was Kath. First stop was in the Jewish quarter. It was serving of artichoke Italian Jewish style( double fried) . And a conchae zucchini fried and marinated. All flushed down by a glass of Prosecco 🥂😋 Next stop was in Trastevere😊 We went downstairs to the basement, they have a marvellous wine cellar. (Hiding a treasure until it was located and moved…) We were served red wine and pork shoulder stew. it’s former Jewish synagogue. ( It’s Hebräisch inscription on the column, very hard to get a good picture) But visible from the ground by eyes 👀 We continued our walk in Trastevere. Pizza pizza 🍕 2 types of pleasure in hand… Potato pizza and a red sauce with parsley, garlic and salt olive 🫒. And a beer to go 🍺 (you know he’s happy 😊 2 beers for him🍻 cheers to you) Dashing by the basilica di Santa Maria Trastevere. Beautiful up lighted during the evening outside and 🤩 indoor. Next stop we had mozzarella stick, you know the breadcrumbed melted style… (comfort food) 😋accompanied by more🍺 🍺 Now it was time to take comfort food and full stomach to next level…. Pasta! First a starter, deep fried zucchini and mozzarella in tempura batter. 2 pasta types are served and a glass of wine 🍷 Pecorino Roman style is a little bit more salted than the usual pecorino cheese in Italy. (So of course it was one pecorino sauce pasta) and a red base pasta🙃 Oh lala…… stuffed and marinated is a good thing for a food tour? YES, a very good description of us after the pasta stop😂🥰 Well, we still haven’t had dessert…. So off we walked ( did we walk?) to the neighbour. A gelato store! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream🤭🕺🏻💃🏻 2 scoops of cold happiness is the final stop on our tour🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦 Our guide thanked all 7 of us participating in the tour and wishing us a fabulous stay in Rome🇮🇹 Mr had scouted in the Untappd app….👀 In Trastevere is several places for beers 🍻…… (what chicken bone 🦴 do I need to give him tonight?😂) So off we walked in direction of the pub and pointe siste pedestrian bridge. The beer bars are located 50.m away from the bridge crossing Tiber. So it’s on its way to our hotel🙃 Mr got his 🦴🦴🍺 (what can I revive in return🤔🤭😅) Oh, that’s one happy camper and Mr🥰 After finishing the beer we started to walk against 🏛️ pantheon. (Rome is a cosy city in the evening🥰) Passing by and continuing in direction of Trevi. Took some pictures by night and continued to our hotel. We arrived back by 22 and it was an instant food coma when I sat down to relax for a few minutes🥱😴😴😴 We walked 20.000 steps.

Hello❤️ We have traveled Sicilia extensively before😊🤭🇮🇹 Both by land holiday and cruise stops. We were on the island by my professor emeritus in Italian art history. So we traveled around the island for 14 days, visiting everything😂😂 We had a great time and really enjoyed Sicilia🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹 We went on wineries, Tempels, mosaics, Etna etc. We really like Sicilia❤️ This time we dock later in the day. So we are just going to Taormina.

🇮🇹 Amore ❤️ I was early awake… 06.30 winter time🙃 Mr awake??? 💤💤💤💤 So it was a slow morning in bed for me. Answering some mails for work and accepting travel bills on a project🤓 At 8’o clock I started to poke Mr… Rise & Shine please🕺🏻 A little after 9 we went for breakfast. It’s breakfast in your stay at our hotel. It’s nothing fancy, very typical Italian easy style breakfast. All types of barista coffee, Kaiser roll bread, mortadella, salami, yoghurt, cereal, juice and a large selection of Italian pastries ( perfect if you like sugar😂) We do have a church in our hotel! After breakfast it was time to go on adventure🕺🏻💃🏻 Our only plan that are locked is a food tour in Trastevere by Eating Europe Rome at 16.00. (Mr loved this type of adventures) We kicked off our walk by heading to the right out of our hotel. We walked over to Basilica de Santa Prassede. They were rehearsing for something. But we could go inside. Beautiful painting and mosaics. After our visit, we continued onward to Chiesa di San Martini ai Monty. We could go inside, but it was a service. So we took no pictures. We left the church to go down to Colosseum. (We have visited before, so just walk by). It gets crowded when you get closer, but not too bad. We walked by and continued in direction of Tiber River. We walked thru a Sunday market at Parco Della Resistance. It was handcrafted jewellery, paintings, oils, honey and fresh flowers. From the market we continued to Tiber. We crossed Tiber at pointe Sublicio. We took the stairs down to the river walk and went in direction of Isola Tiberino. Just after the bridge to Isola Tiberino there’s a water fall. The stream is strong and makes a swirly look. (I don’t know the English word for this phenomenon🧐) We walked upstairs to the bridge from the riverbank and walked onto the Isola Tiberino. The church was closed for visiting, they hosted a Sunday brunch for locals. So we walked to the other side onto the oldest bridge in Rome, Ponte Fabricio. When you cross the road, you have lots of old history to view. (You do understand why digging in Italy takes time😝) We continued onward to Marcellus theatre ruins and went into the Jewish ghetto of Rome. Plenty of kosher restaurants and stores for food. Mr was starting to be a bit hungry around 13.30… So we decided that a stop for something to eat and drink was good timing. We decided for Camerino on Largo Arenula. Mr ordered an Limoncello Spritz, Café completo and some snacks for us. So now we have a break and enjoy. IMG_9456.mov IMG_9440.mov IMG_9434.mov

Bon Voyage⚓️

We just received a notification from MoveUp. Our bidding was not accepted😜 You see? I told you earlier that we and MoveUp is not best friends😂😂🤭 So that means we will eat dinner in MDR and enjoy our concierge cabin on deck 12🕺🏻💃🏻🥂 So Somalier team in MDR: Stock up for cooling, the dry pale rose wine🌹🍷 😂😂😂

Train to Termini went good👍🏻 Our hotel is 8.minutes by walking from the train station. So we arrived at our hotel around noon. Hotel Antico Palazzo Rospigliosi. Our room was ready 11.50✔️ So we could deliver our bags and have 5.minutes of downtime before heading out🙃 The room is not the biggest, but it is clean, decent bathroom and cover our needs during our stay in Rome. After dropping off the luggage and 5.mins of stretching on the bed, we decided that we would go for a walk and have lunch/dinner. On the bed stretch…. You have time to solve lunch😂 So I booked a table on a Michelin restaurant. It was either eat 12.45 or 14.30. So we took 14.30. https://guide.michelin.com/en/lazio/roma/restaurant/poldo-e-gianna-osteria We walked from our hotel to Trevi fountain, took a round in the neighbourhood. Window shopping is always 🤩. At 14.30 we went to our lunch place. It’s very hidden away, but a really nice location and place. The place was packed and lots of people were turned around on the door. We received the menu and went just for main course. (Remember we had 2 breakfasts😜 and awake for a full day) Mr went for cod yellow tomatoes and I went for boneless chicken. We ordered a side of romanesco broccoli. We opted for a glass each of the house wine. Red and white🥂 Service was good and the food tasted excellent. Would love to do a full dinner service, but to tired for a full meal. After our lunch (dinner) we went out for more walking. I can see lots of new details every time I visit Rome. The best way to see Rome is by walking. Then you have time to see all the details😎 After walking for another hour, we were ready for dessert! Gelato 🍨🥰 We decided after the gelato that it was time to hit the Carrefour for some hotel snacks and call it the day outside. We have just returned to our hotel😌 (A lack of beauty sleep 💤 the last days makes me feel almost drunk 24/7…. So it’s better to go early to bed and be ready for a new day🥰) We will be out and about tomorrow🙂 and YES we know it’s winter time on Sunday😊 1 hour back on the clock ⏰

Thanks for a great review🕺🏻🕺🏻

We speed walked to the FCO/Rome gate. Departure time is 07.55am. From D2 to A17 it’s a 14.minute walk. You need to go from one end to the other end… We used 10.mins. I didn’t run, but I know I’m a faster then the average walkers😜 (When you grow up in a family of tall people, you need to follow their speed😂😂 and according to Mr, I walk fast) Boarding started the second we arrived at the gate. I have Star Alliance Gold, so we walked straight on. Our flight is operated on a A320Neo. 3+3 configuration. 2 classes. SAS Plus and Go. Flight is full in Go and 90% full in Plus. We are seated on SAS plus 4D/F. Fingers crossed for empty middle seat. YES✔️ Bags are loaded and scanned onto the flight by ground staff✔️ (The SAS app has a tracking section, so when you check a bag, it updates when it’s delivered at the airport, it’s being scanned again when it’s loaded onto the airplane and in transit it’s scanned again when loaded onto the connection flight. Very handy if you visually can’t see your bags loaded. Several airlines have this solution👍🏻) Short connection in CPH is normally not a problem. Usually you arrive on D or B and leave intra European/Schengen flights from the same area. Then it’s a short and easy walk. And on non-Schengen flights it’s more time in transit to clear immigration and walk to the gates. Today’s service to Rome is a breakfast service (again😝) in Plus. All flights before 09.00am is breakfast service on Sas. Sas Go has menu for purchase. So her is the danish edition of breakfast service🙃 Menu for SAS Go Europe flights Mr stepped up the game🤭🍺 Cheers to a great flight! Mr passed the exam for renewal of his work license yesterday evening🤓🥳 (so I will not give the evil eye…. It’s always 5’o clock somewhere😁) Mikkeller Side eyes pale ale We left from the “good” runway from CPH. If you have watched the thriller “Broen” danish crime. You have seen this view in the intro…. It’s a fascinating construction connecting Sweden 🇸🇪 and Denmark 🇩🇰. When you see it from above, you can see the bridge and how the highway goes into the tunnel under the ocean. From an engineering viewpoint, it’s perfect, a work of art! The flight was uneventful. We arrived in Rome 10 minutes before scheduled time 10.20. The crew was on, but lots of elderly people were walking around in the cabin. So it made it harder for the crew to do their job. Snow have started to drizzle in the alps❄️❄️⛷️🎿 Bags arrived on the belt when we arrived downstairs👍🏻 Next, train into Termini🚂

Good Morning! Rise & Shine🤩 Clock ⏰ at 04.10😜 Its -1c outside🥶 We walked over to the terminal at 04.50 and dropped off the bags and walked thru security in 5.mins😉 No time to visit the SAS lounge this morning. They open 05.15am. We picked up some last minute shopping at the duty free store and walked to the gate. Munch Museum has some Munch pictures out in display at the airport. Our flight to Copenhagen today is a A320Neo. It’s 2 classes: SAS Plus and SAS Go. Configurations 3+3. SAS uses this recaro seat on all Airbus aircrafts on short haul. That means all flights in Europe/Scandinavia/Domestic. We are seated on 3a/c (fingers crossed for empty middle seat) Boarding started on time 05.30am. Flight is not completely fully booked. So empty middle seat for us🥳 Flight time 1h. Good weather conditions. Service on this flight is coffee/tea complementary to all. SAS Go has cold beverages and food for purchase Menu on domestic and inter Scandinavian flights Go: SAS Plus has breakfast service until 08.30am and free choices from the Go menu. Breakfast is typically Scandinavian style. Juice, yoghurt, muesli, bread, butter, cold cuts (2 slices cheese and 2 salami slices) tomatoes and salad. Coffee/tea. Flight was uneventful and on time to Copenhagen 07.15am. Crew was friendly and did an excellent job on this red eye flight. Copenhagen is still sleeping 💤 We arrived at D2 07.15 and next flight is from A17 boarding 07.35. That means on the other side of the airport🤭🕺🏻💃🏻 need those daily steps🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I always check us in for all legs off b2b. We are in 99% always out and a about on turnaround day🙃 So it’s okay to just be done ✔️ They always ask the questions again… but we survive🤣🤣🤣 On our cruises in the middle east they have always collected our passport and the same for Milli in Asia and Solstice pacific islands. On Milli in Asia they took the passport until first port of call in Japan, where it was face to face for customs and immigration. They also wanted upon check in 3x copies of your passport and visa to to China. So check in was very slow…. Due to all the paperwork. (and they didn’t tell in advance to guests about the need of copies…. We had everything ready but 95% of the others were waiting in copy line🤪) So everything is lined up in my folder 📂🤓I’m ready🥰 Do it all in Rome😉 So we can have a smashing day in Dubai😎

The last day crazy game🫠🤪🙈🤪 The suitcases was ready yesterday👍🏻 Thank lord for that😝 I have been running errands for work, cleaning the house, laundry and helping our friends out as a nanny some hours🤪🤪🤪 ( they know I work from home often and they desperately needed help for some hours) Mr had timed his re certification for job to this week. So he has been running on UK time the entire week and occupied 24/7 for the exam today. I was not “finished” on work, nannying and cleaning the house before 19.30. Mr was still not finished🤓 So at 20.00 I picked up Mr at the office. Drove home, stuffed Mr pc and Bose in the carryons and we walked down to the train 20.36….😅 We have now checked in at Radisson Red and it will be so good to go to bed😊 Celebrity just sent us this email:

Oh, this brings back great memories from our Japan adventure❤️ Love your pictures🥰
