10th July



Sea Day Sunny with cloud later Temp 23c Rough Sea.
Lots of white caps this morning on the sea and quite windy outside. After breakfast today we had to go to the Wheelhouse bar for UK Immigration Inspection so, with cruise card in one hand and our passport in the other we queued to wait for our turn. It all worked very smoothly and we were out of there in no time. This will speed things up on Saturday when we get to Southampton. Afterward we got a take-a-way coffee and Betty went back to the cabin to sort out some of her photos and I went to another lecture by Marlin Darrah this time on Cuba. It was again an enjoyable show and as I had already bought the DVD is good to see some of it on the big screen. Some of you may get the opportunity to see the full version sometime. At 11.30am. the entire Cruise Critic mob assembled in the Atrium for a group photo and then we all went to lunch together to say goodbye to the ones who are leaving us in Southampton. The Chef baked a special cake for the occasion. After lunch Bev, Ian, Betty & I went to the” iPad get together” where the Customer Services Director gave a talk on the basics of iPads. We all learned something new and look forward to his next talk which will be for more advanced users. It is a formal night tonight so everyone looks very smart. Showtime for us tonight was “The Huber Marionettes” in the Princess Theatre. What a show! What this guy did with marionettes was amazing. It was a show that we would probably only see on a cruise. True to the Captain’s weather forecast the wind dropped off later today and the sea is now much calmer as we journey through the Bay of Biscay.  Photos tomorrow of Lisbon.
