Tuesday 11 September - Day 21 - at sea instead of visiting Klaksvick
At breakfast this morning, we were seated with 6 other people - two Danes and four Americans. We actually had quite a nice time - I'm pretty sure the waiters were about to kick us all out of the dining room by the time we left :-)
Apart from that though, we had a deliberate 'nothing' day - which is pretty much how we like to spend our days on a cruise anyway.
The captain warned us that the seas are going to be rough today, and getting rougher. He was right - the waves are around 6 - 7 metres high! They've had to stop some of the lifts from running due to the movement of the ship, and even the ones that are running are struggling - quite often you'll get into a lift and even though there are only 4 or 5 people in it, it will tell you that the lift is overloaded. The best one was when Paul and I got out of a lift, no-one else got in, but it wouldn't move because it thought it was overloaded. These are definitely the roughest seas I've ever encountered on a cruise - there's a constant rolling of the ship and various bumping / squeaking / grinding noises which can be really disturbing. However, for a change, I've managed to master sea-sickness with generous doses of Travacalm!
And, again, what a surprise - we had dinner, came back to the cabin, and crashed.
