Passenger pool volleyball match

(Back blip) The Cruise Director organised a Passenger (guest) versus Explorations team (staff) volleyball match in the forward pool. It was relaxing sitting in the sun sipping drinks and watching, then there was music with the resident singer and group. I am enjoying relaxing, but have to stop myself feeling guilty that I should be "getting on with something", bliss really no housework or chores and the internet connection is so slow that it is virtually impossible to send or open my emails. I can just about log on and see if my husband has sent an email and if he has I have to write a reply offline and then cut and paste and hope I can send it, so the internet will not be taking up my time either but more annoyingly I haven't been able to send or receive any texts since I got to Aus. Obviously my Bahraini sim isn't supported here! Don't have any signal now anyway as we are too far offshore!

Sadly crew are not allowed to use this pool and I found out we are only allowed to use the aft pool on port days, oh well never mind there are lots of other perks. I had never been on a cruise until I went around the Med with my daughter last year. I didn't realise how much there is to do on board. Lots of classes and talks always going on, so much to fit in and I thought I would just be doing "nothing", not really I bought my cross stitch, sketch books and watercolors with me plus loads of books, there is also a large library and jigsaws and games, magazines, cinema, shows. I am going to be so busy!
