NO18 Cruise - Day 2 - afternoon

At sea.  Lunch was quite unremarkable.  Met some interesting people however at the table again.  Went for a walk round the promenade and by this time the weather was changing.  There were a few white horses appearing on the sea and the sun was quite hazy.

We decided to try the afternoon tea today and once again it was Ok.  Met some more nice people who livened up the conversation again! Tonight was the dressing up for dinner event.  We had our invitation to the captain's drinks. Disappointingly we spent the whole hour waiting to have our photos taken ...not sure if we will want copies!  Once more in the queue we got chatting to another couple.  Exchanging views on various cruises is both interesting and helpful.

As we wanted to see the "Take That" sort of tribute band performing at 8.45 we had to rush off to dinner.  The restaurants are always busy and we had a lovely table by a window.  Another interesting set of dinner companions! A couple of older ladies, a mother and daughter from Newcastle area and a couple from Tunbridge Wells.  

The dinner was not too bad but the service was slow.  Four of us had to rush off before coffee so we could get to the respective venues.  They were off to a rock 'n roll show at one end of the ship and we went to The Take That show!  They were very good .  Time to turn in after a fairly relaxing day at sea.
