.....the fresh gale (+30 knots) alternating with moderate gale.........is subsiding after 24 hours at sea, 12 foot + seas, rich deep navy teal ocean with white blowing froth. We can't go out on the deck, but lots of exploring inside after we got over the "1st night" with 8 other women hangover, or was it seasickness.  WOW, WOW what a boat with perfection everywhere. The veranda is lovely but one has to hold on..... I especially want to take our bathroom home. Will send photos tomorrow cause it is late, and we are just back from exquisite food in the main dining room after complimentary drinks in the Grand Bar listening to a string quartet.  Pat A had 2 vodka/tonics, but I'm not telling eh.
Trip down was uneventful, but lonnnngggg; treated well all along even with incessant line-ups.  But entering the wonderful world of room 7024 made it all worthwhile.  Pat A did say that it was a good thing she took pics of the room before I landed and created a chaos space.....it's easy to do with 282 sq.ft.   I can only finish with superlatives; we are well and joyous.....
Tomorrow we anchor at Robinson Crusoe Island, aka Alexander Selkirk the original castaway.  Hugs
