This is one of the most crowded sea lanes in the world with all manner of sea going vessels. It is set out in an invisible grid with some magic control center who knows where directing all the sea traffic. The weather is hot and muggy with clouds. The ship has 613 passengers. It is laid back and quiet. No crowds. No annoying announcements. Just calm seas and a lovely atmosphere. We awoke early and did our exercise for the day. Today that meant the track. It was a great workout in preparation for a relaxing day. Just having a sea day is great after running around Singapore like lunatics.
The food is excellent. Very tasty, interesting and not enormous portions. The wine last night was outstanding. I will beg them for it every night. Santa Elena Pinot Grigio. Our cabin is not too small with a huge window and it is very quiet. The thing I love about this ship is that they don't make announcements and if they have to they don't beam them into the cabins. So if the ship is sinking I will probably sleep right through it. Oh yes, no children aboard.
We are moving along at seventeen knots in extremely calm seas. The captain calls himself The Voice From th Bridge. A good sense of humor. Shortly we will attend a lecture on Thailand, our first port stop. So far, I have only positive things to say. We were very impressed with Singapore and so far with this cruise. We are also happy to be sailing with good friends Lorelle and Jeff. We look forward to a wonderful
