Arrived in port early this morning. Took our time enjoying breakfast before heading ashore. Unfortunately, even at 9:30am, the stores were mainly closed. Sadly, the only things to buy in this port seem to be either cheap island chachkas or jewellery, neither of which we are particularly interested in. Took a stroll around town. The people are very aggressive to get you to take a cab or a local tour. Also, the main street smelt like “ass”, not a very welcoming thing.
Met with our Cruise Critic group this afternoon. Had a good turnout, about 50 people. Sat and talked with a couple from Florida. Also met Liz and Mitch that have been so active in the message board, as well as their travel agent and also an active member, Scott, who reminds me a lot of Allister.
I watched “Did you hear about the Morgans” while Matt napped after returning to the ship.
Tonight was the first formal night. I had to send Matt’s suit and shirt out for express pressing, they were due to arrive before 5pm ... they were late, putting us later than we had hoped for dinner. In the end when we arrived there was only 2 spaces left in the dining room, at a table for 10, which we took as we didn’t want to wait any longer.
Had some formal pics taken after supper. The first guy was great, the next not so much, but as I told Matt, the last time it was the less impressive guy that took the better pictures.
Caught the end of the comedian’s show after dinner. Tom Briscoe was awesome!
Went back to the cabin to change into “real” clothes before the musical production “Destination Anywhere” which we saw last cruise. It was good, but I think I enjoyed the performance in Alaska more, the lead singers were better.
Had a late night snack in the buffet before retiring for the evening. Hoping to sleep in a little tomorrow before checking out the port and shopping lectures.
