We are now experiencing 23 hour days as we head east with a new time zone almost everyday. We are thrilled that they are doing this like they did in the old days (10 years ago, lol) by changing the clock forward at 1pm in the afternoon. This is way better than in the middle of the night. At 12:59 pm our cruise director gets on the PA and announces a count down from 5,4,3,2,1, Happy Two O’clock Everyone. This is accompanied by the ship’s horn, making it truly official. The last two days have been relaxing with just taking in the activities that the ship has to offer. Last night was a costume party where many guests and crew participated. I only took the one pic of our Cruise Director dressed as a six foot lady bug - cute. For us, many of these activities take place during our late dining time, which is actually okay by us - we have seen many of these but still fun to see the tail end.
Speaking of seen many of these, according to my calculations today marks our 1,000 days of cruising with HAL. These are actual cruise days and does not include the extra days they give you for on board purchases etc.. So, a milestone for us, hooray. We treated ourselves to 75 minute hot stone massages to mark the occasion. We also enjoyed a wonderful performance in the World Stage featuring two of the classical musicians. I took the pic because of the featured photo for the piece they were performing. We purchased a small exact statue like that one in Greece on our Honeymoon some 995 cruising days ago with our very first HAL cruise. Full circle indeed.
BTW update. We will be arriving in Honolulu one day earlier because of our medical situation giving us a two night layover in this Hawaiian city. Wonderful for us, I have already reserved a rental car. Sorry, no update on the patient, not for me to report anyway.
Only a few pics of the past few days, hope you enjoy…
No land, no ships nothing in sight except flying fish…
