Whisper: May 3 to June 2

[zqtchas]

The plastic shields have been removed from the counters at tour and reception.

Also the extra servers at the buffet have been removed.

 

More rough seas ahead.

 

Saw exc chef Sagar Trikha (from Delhi ) demo yesterday, not impressed.  
 

Lost another hour last night. Another 2 hours tonight again, with more down the pike.

How can you lose so many hours over the course of a few days?  Does Whisper fly like the wind?

Personally we're finding the food onboard way better than Muse over Christmas although they have run out of fresh strawberries already..

Glad to read this. We had heard about how awful the food was on the Muse this past holiday season.

 

Also, sorry to read you’re already out of strawberrIes just a few days into the voyage.

I think we are being eased across the dateline?

Although my massage appointment is scheduled on the second 13th.

[zqtchas]

Just checked, we have 3 different times.

1- ship time

2- my iPad time

3- wife’s iPad time

 

just know meal time is ships time.

There do seem to be plenty of blueberries though which is good as my wife adores them and they ran out early on Muse!

 

I will say generally we're having a great time, although today we had a strong smell of paint in the bedroom not great when we're in a roughish sea..  But the staff are excellent.

[zqtchas]

So……tonight we are forward 2 hours.

Tomorrow ….

 

 

I’m so confused!

[RachelG]

shame about the strawberries, though blueberries are acceptable if they are ripe and flavorful. 

 

also shame about losing so many hours so close together. . But at least you are at sea.

No, it's a cost-cutting measure by the bean counters. The more hours you lose, the less wine you can drink! So they save money.

Now you're making sense!  None of this time zone map stuff...  🤣

[zqtchas]

Every SS ship I ve  been on they always run out of something!

[Host Jazzbeau]

So the 'first' 13 May is Saturday.  Does that mean the 'second' one is Friday the 13th?  Be careful...

 

OTOH, remember that this concept was worth £20,000 to Phileas Fogg!

Looks like Dutch Harbor will be a tad chilly!  I hope you brought your long John's Chas!   BRRRRR 

[zqtchas]

Again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The soft crab and schnitzel were excellent tonight.

Plus we had a dance band.

[spinnaker2]

Wow its been awhile since the dance band at dinner!

[RachelG]

2 hours forward!?  That is brutal.

[Host Jazzbeau]

I'm thinking this itinerary would be much better in the opposite direction – lots of 26-hour days.  Lots of drinking time.  Would make a great cruise for the water cooler set!

Just had a message over the PA system. A reminders to wash your hands. People have been lax in that department lately. 2 cases of flu/cold reported. Staff stationed outside of restaurant to monitor hand sanitation. A few have resumed masks wearing.

Sadly its the dreaded gastroenteritis hopefully it'll be contained but we all have our part to play!

Sad to see so many people not sanitising before entering the restaurants ..
