We must be crossing the sea of terrible Voom.

 

Getting harder to keep this thread going.

I take back all the nice things I said about the Captain.

Library on deck 9

 

Return books by the end of the cruise.

 

 

 

 

 

I actually borrowed one and finished it on our last day (a sea day) in the Solarium looking out the windows!  We always went to get the trivia/puzzle sheets 🙂

Hmmm.

 

Eight ships built between 2000 - 2004 were built with gas turbines.   I thought it was only Radiance class.

 

 

 

Twangster, I think they may have lumped Celebrity's Millennium Class ships in for a total of 8.  The Millenium, Infinity, Summit and Constellation are essentially the same sized ships as the Radiance Class and are powered by GE gas turbines.  The X ships were built by Chantier's Atlantque and the Radiance class were built by Meyer Werft.  The Millennium ships used Rolls Royce's Mermaid Azmuthing pods and the Radiance ships went with ABB Azipods.  While there were growing pains with both systems, IIRC the RR Mermaid system was far more troublesome.

10:30am in the Centrum

 

 

It's the class for old people in how to stop randomly in hallways, stop at the top or bottom of stairs and escalators and how to completely block a path with your spouse.

 

This is the fourth of five classes and it's proven to been remarkably successful.

Heated by the sun.  Likely why it has no swimmers today.

Starlink report

 

 

This likely explains why posting to this thread has been painful today.

4,300 nm sailed

 

53 mph winds across the decks.  It's windy out there.

Apparently the sound and lighting equipment had a malfunction last night and they canceled Tango Buenos Aires.

 

It's been fixed!  They are going to try to squeeze in a Tango Buenos Aires show tomorrow.

I stopped by Izumi last night.   No hot rocks.   Apparently a new safety regulation rendered them in violation so they were removed. 

Did you happen to try the “She’s a Geisha “ cocktail in Izumi? It’s really good.
