Day 21 (May 23) At Sea to Norway


The morning after a turnaround day (when a large number of passengers disembark and are replaced by embarking passengers), it's amusing to see the large numbers of people with that confused or 'deer in the headlights' look.  We slept in a bit and joined the throngs in the Lido Market area for breakfast.  It was the most crowded we've seen it for the whole cruise.  But we were able to get seating in our customary area in the Canaletto and enjoyed a nice breakfast.

After breakfast we attended a presentation by Ian Page, Destination Specialist, on the History and Culture of Norway.  I also attended the meet and greet for the Cruuse Critic guests up in the Crow's Nest where I met a few new passengers and connected with the organizer of our Kristiansand walk.

Collector Voyage guests were invited to a special Indonesian Lunch which we enjoyed with Keith from Australia and Diane and John from Pt. Ludlow, WA (near us).  Following this the Captain and Hotel Director answered questions to a full house on the World Stage.  Among the interesting answers to questions that came up was the planned fix to the audio/video system to get those aspects on the TV.  It also came out that the library was built incorrectly and would be fixed.  Ian then came back to the World Stage and presented an interesting program on the Vikings.

Today was a Gala Night and we had reservations in the Canaletto.  It was quite good and the wine steward had already retrieved our Moscato wine from the main dining room.  That was a first and a nice touch.  The World Stage featured the cast in One World and it was as good as the first time we saw it last cruise.  Back in our room we watched the movie 100 Feet which was quite good.  Morning will come early in Flåm tomorrow.
