Posts won't be coming so often now - internet access on the ship is wildly expensive and very slow. We have purchased the biggest package you can get, and we're still paying 30 cents per minute! If you just buy it by the minute, it's 65cents per minute. For the same reason, I may end up posting these entries a day or more late, depending on the ship internet access at the time.
Anyway, back to our first sea day. I promised myself that I'd have as quiet a day as possible, and I did. We went to the 'Meet and Greet' - we got to meet a few new people - but we still haven't come across any other Australians yet. Wandered down to the restaurant for lunch and came across a communication problem - they sat us at a table with two other groups of people, but both groups were Danish and didn't really want to talk, either to us or to each other. Apparently there are around 800 Danes on this cruise, so it's very common to hear Danish spoken around the ship and all the security broadcasts are repeated in Danish too.
For dinner we went to one of the specialty restaurants - Chops Grille. $30 each cover charge for a three course meal. It was delicious and I ate far too much :-)
After dinner - went back to to bed and crashed. I know that's there's lots of onboard entertainment after dinner - I just don't seem to be able to stay awake long enough to enjoy it!
