We spent a fun day in Cobh… pronounced “Cove”... then, at the stroke of midnight, Martin and Danielle made Diamond status! Yay!!! Click to learn more about the day in Cobh and our celebration.

After a fun day in Cork, Ireland… we headed back to the ship. On our return journey, we passed this park full of birds. Sunny days and warm weather bring out people and birds!
As we crossed the Atlantic, we moved our clocks forward an hour… six times! We found ourselves sleeping later and later. On this day, when we got up there was a Captain’s party going full swing. Champagne and Mimosa’s on the fifth floor. Downstairs in the Centrum, the Captain iced a giant sized cake…
We are SO behind in posting! With crazy weather and very poor internet, it was frustratingly impossible. We shall be catching up in the upcoming days... For now, continue with us on our journey through Ponta Delgada, starting with the St Sebastian Clocktower. These birds sit high above keeping a watchful eye on the town center.
Day Nine… finally reached land! Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel Island, is the administrative capital of the Azores. Not our first time here, we expected warm, sunny weather. Instead my view from the cabin was gray and misty.
With so many sea days and an abundance of free time, I decided this was as good a time as any to start an online photography course. Hoping to learn a few tricks, I’ll practice once we reach land :-)
Day Five… eating, drinking and general merriness… Another day of rest and relaxation. The “lazies” are settling in. Seems it takes us several days to unwind and really begin to let go of the chaos going on at home. Seven sea days at the start of this cruise is just what the doctor ordered!
Every evening we visit our new friend Milica in Schooner Bar… she always creates a delicious Diamond hour cocktail! This Mojito was especially good. Click to see what else we’ve been up to :-)
Nikola, Sommelier from Navigator of the Seas, told us we had to introduce ourselves to his favorite friend on the ships. Milica. It didn’t take us long to find this bartender… she works in the Schooner Bar. Looks like we’ll be spending time with our new friend! Thanks, Nikola!!!
