Ovation of the Seas Cruise Day 3: Sunday 21 October

We sailed through the Sunda Strait last night so now we're in the Indian Ocean.  I haven't had any issues with sea-sickness so far, but the seas are definitely higher now, so I've taken another Travacalm as a preventative.
Absolutely nothing planned today now that they've cancelled my All Access Tour of the ship.  I had also signed up to attend a Roll Call get-together, but you don't get to find out when / where it is until they send you an invitation onboard.  However, I never got the invitation, and I found out that it was on when it was almost over.  There were a lot of problems with registering for the roll call event - some people registered for it and then their sign-up was lost, and this happened to some people multiple times, so maybe mine got lost too.
Today I'll post about our cabin.  In brief - very nice.  It's bigger than our hotel room in Singapore - there's enough room here for a sofa as well as the bed.
And, there's a really good amount of both desk space and storage. Definitely the biggest cabin we've had, with the exception of the mini-suite on the ship formerly known as Dawn Princess. 

And, something I've never seen on a cruise ship before, although I know some of the ships that sail out of England do this - in our room they have provided a kettle and the makings for cups of tea!

The bathroom is nicely set out and the shower has a proper glass door instead of the clingy plastic curtains that they have on lots of ships.


And, because of the location, our balcony is larger than most - enough room for two nice chairs and a small table.
