In the last post I mentioned a storm? Well it was a whopper! We had to reroute to Tahiti to tie up to the dock for a night while they waited to figure out the storm’s path, and then we headed out to sea rather than to the Cook Islands. Tahiti ended up issuing a code red storm alert after we left.
So now we would be at sea for another 7 days :((((
The first 3 days were pretty rough, 12 foot+ waves and winds up to 100 kph. The furniture on our deck was lashed down, the barf bags were out in the elevators and public spaces, and it just wasn’t pretty lol. Entertainment and some aspects of dinner service had to be scaled back because of the rock and roll. But now we are in calmer waters, albeit without our stop (where we would have been diving) on the Cook Islands, and are headed to New Zealand.
The Superbowl for us will be on Monday at (we think) 11:30 am because we cross the dateline. They have a party planned, so we’ll see how it goes. If worst comes to worst and we have internet, I can still watch on it on my NFL international pass and we’ll have a party in our living room for my football friends I’ve met on the cruise, like I did for the Conference championships:) Today we didn’t have an internet connection most of the day and I had planned to work. So, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
As the seas settled down and things returned to normal we had a lovely Chef’s Table Dinner with a number of other folks. Warning for non-foodies, the pics below will be boring!
