Wed 0225 – Day 2 - first sea day
All in all, this was a delightfully uneventful day. The Meet and Mingle, listed on the web site for 12:15 was held at 11am. It was hosted by Carly, the CD. It was the first time I had seen her, since I didn’t go to the show on the first night. She made a point of saying we should all make an effort to get to know the staff since she believed it would make a better cruise experience, so, when she worked the room, I told her the one person I wanted to meet was the Concierge. She told me there are currently no plans to retro-fit the Rhapsody.
I told her I had read about a private Cocktail Lounge, actually right where we were at the time (in the upper portion of the Viking Crown Lounge) and she seemed vaguely familiar with that history, but, again, there are no plans to do that again.
Then I told her how unhappy I am with the PNG situation. She was not aware of the debacle. BTW, I have since heard of people who were wait-listed fir or the PNG tours shortly after boarding.
There was the first of several destination lectures in the afternoon. I got there a few minutes late, and did not hear the gentleman‘s credentials, if, in fact, there was any introduction. He seemed to be an aging historian, perhaps a retired professor, got lost several times, was frequently contradicted (quietly) by Aussies in the audience. Overall, it was an enjoyable presentation.
I didn’t go to the show because I was still trying to get my computer working – I should have gone through the whole process before leaving home. Suddenly it is working without being plugged in, so I may not have to get it repaired. Right now, I am using my roommate’s laptop and she will email this document to me and then I will post it. That plan must have worked if you’re reading thus!!
So, day 2 ended with no blogging, no show, and, surprisingly, no trivia yet. I’m on vacation. All in all, a delightfully uneventful day.
