tv24 Posted April 8, 2023 #826 Share Posted April 8, 2023 The view of the sea and the moon from the back of the ship...that is one of my favorite experiences on any cruise. May you experience many more, Sharkb8 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seabournsailors Posted April 10, 2023 #827 Share Posted April 10, 2023 This was the party you missed! Beautiful sunset, great food and cocktails, The Captain, Hotel Director, F&B Manager, Bar Manager, Chief Engineer, Guest Services Manager, plus many other Officers all attended! The Captain slowed down the ship so we had no wind out the front, just a nice breeze.....perfect setting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted April 10, 2023 Author #830 Share Posted April 10, 2023 So, a bit of catch up. Last night (Easter of course), this was the spread on the bed, when we returned from dinner: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark b8 Posted April 10, 2023 Author #831 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Also, florisdekort, you got the “scoop” on me yesterday 😎, about Ross pix. Helping to serve in the “Galley Lunch”, one of our fave things. Somehow, I had a brain fart about taking any pix of the lunch, so…sorry. (a side note — as opposed to the last 2 galley meals, they announced that this one would require no guest masks, when in the galley). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark b8 Posted April 10, 2023 Author #832 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Also, last night - foie gras terrine in the MDR. mmmmmm. (Sorry, my left hand took a bite before my right hand could take the pic) 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark b8 Posted April 10, 2023 Author #833 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Ok, on to Mahe, in the Seychelles. We did a combo snorkel-bus tour - snorkeling was, I think, just ok. The island, though, is colorful and gorgeous. Edited April 10, 2023 by shark b8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark b8 Posted April 10, 2023 Author #834 Share Posted April 10, 2023 These beautiful blossoms were strewn all around - our guide said they were from an “African magnolia” tree, although I’m thinking there might have been a bit of the ol’ translation/language problem with that. When I searched for “African Magnolia”, I came up with hundreds of hits about a Liberian cargo ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted April 12, 2023 Author #838 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Does anyone else think the chair leg design in the suite is weird, that it should topple over backward any minute now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted April 12, 2023 Author #841 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ha! Wouldn’t you just know. Mere minutes after posting my chair leg design dissertation, I noticed the the second chair in the suite…..didn't look like that. Flipped this one over, screwed the leg in further, and…..all is well. It’s still not exactly aligned the way it should be, but at least there will not be any backward somersaults. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted April 12, 2023 Author #843 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) OK. Second day in the Seychelles - we did another snorkel/catamaran trip - this one was excellent. It was advertised as “snorkeling at Cocos Island”, which I had always read about and lusted over 🙄. As it turned out, we sailed by Cocos…..

shark b8 Posted April 12, 2023 Author #844 Share Posted April 12, 2023 …and ended up at Grand Coeur Island, for reasons which were announced but not really explained. Anyway, it was pretty great, this was orders-of-magnitude better snorkeling than yesterday, and possibly the best on this trip (and that’s it, no more snorkeling on this one. 😞). Loads of parrotfish, tiny blue tangs (I think), huge angelfish, and it was lovely to just float around and watch a turtle lazily do his thing. He disappeared down below a reef shelf, and up top I heard a few fellow snorkelers panic and say “he’s trapped under there, what should we do?!” Understandable certainly, but they do this all the time, to take a 15-minute marine nap away from the noise of the underwater hoi polloi. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted April 13, 2023 Author #850 Share Posted April 13, 2023 At the risk of re-igniting the Great Breadstick Wars of March 2023……here’s the comparison, E&O vs MDR. Really? It’s actually still up for discussion? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
