Phil
woke me about 8 am reminding me that we have an appointment with Holland
America's cruise consultant at 9 am. I
rolled over, fell back to sleep and woke in a panic at 9 am. I scrambled to get to the 8th floor --
arriving by about 9:10 am. She wasn't
even there -- just Phil. She finally did
show up -- but this appointment was not helpful for us at all except to realize
that none of the future cruises were of any interest to us.
Next
I reacquainted myself with Deck Six and went out for a 1.5 mile walk --- felt
good !
As I
write this it is about 3:45 pm -- I'm having tea with honey for my throat. On the way back from Lido with my tea -- a
couple got on the elevator -- he in a tuxedo
and she in a gown wearing a large bronze medal with Holland America on it
around her neck. Apparently they were on their way to some sort
of party for high level previous cruisers.
It is amazing how many people on this ship have been on Holland America
numerous times -- 4 and 5 star cruisers.
To achieve 4 star status takes a minimum of 200 days cruising.
In
the "Damper" Department -- we received a letter this afternoon from
the Captain reporting that the Norwegian Government announced they have
received credible information that it is possible an act of terrorism could
take place in Norway over the next few days -- no indication of where. We
stop tomorrow in Bergen, Norway where they are hosting the Tall Ship Races for
three days -- and then on to Stavanger, Norway the day after. I guess we will just "be cautious"
and carry on.
Tonight
at dinner -- the dinining room was a like a ghost town -- apparently a lot of
people have what I am now getting over.
We had a very nice dinner -- took a walk afterwards before going to
bed. Our arrival in Bergen is scheduled
for 8:00 am tomorrow morning.
Thanks
for Reading!

You and Phil are wise to self-tour, especially when you are feeling under the weather. It is like touring on a private yacht! :)
