We lost an hour overnight because of a time change, so woke up around 6:30 which was actually 5:30, so had to wait a while for David to wake up.
Got ready and had breakfast in the restaurant.
Have I mentioned how bad the table service is? It's so bad it's comical. They mix things up and even miss little things like not bringing out butter. Or they'll bring out the next course before everyone is finished the previous course, or bring out the next course without taking away plates from the previous course and then go whoops and have to remove the plate before they can put another one down. It's no big deal for us, but if they were a restaurant on land they wouldn't last two seconds.
After breakfast ran into Hayley and Torri in Raphael Lounge and chatted to them for a bit.
Grabbed a bit extra to eat in the buffet (I had a croissant).
Then we walked up and down all six passenger decks looking at door decorations which was a bit of fun and took maybe nearly two hours. 6500 steps before lunch :)
Room 5157. These guys had a printout of every cruise they'd ever been on

I came back to the room to backup photos and do blogging.
At 17:15 it was Diamond and Platinum drinks which meant free drinks for me hurray!! Perks of travelling with a Platinum passenger :)

After drinks we went up to see the conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Venus. Bob also pointed out where Polaris and the Big Dipper were so I even managed to get some photos of those - winning! I had a go at putting the phone on a tripod and actually managed to get recognisable photos of Polaris/Big Dipper, Orion, the moon and planets, and even Pleiades!!

Had dinner in the restaurant. I had Stuffed Mushrooms, Filet Mignon which was delicious, very nicely done, and Grand Marnier Souffle which was nice enough but I was too full to enjoy it (David may have gotten some of mine :) ).
Then to bed.
