It was unusual for us to go so long before a day at sea to “catch up”!! “Life on Deck” is going well. Charlotte has already made some friends – in particular an English girl of 8 called Charlie – there are kids speaking all different languages on the ship, as we go through Europe.
We are on the Ryndam – our third Holland America ship this year, and already recognizing people from different cruises. We have already seen 2 officers and a wine steward that were on the ms Veendam with us in Brazil (who recognised Charlotte!). Also the Travel Guide lady was on our last cruise across the Atlantic on the ms Rotterdam (and she will also be on our next Holland America cruise on the Westerdam in the South Pacific!!)
I’ve started with good intentions of going to the gym classes at 7am each morning (in an effort to offset the food intake! Not to mention the afternoon cream tea on the sea day!) but so far seem to feel worse and ache all day….
We don’t seem to see Charlotte much as she enjoys her freedom around the boat and at kids club with Charlie.
We have been very fortunate with the weather so far, and as we head south, it should only get better!
