We met a number of new people at the Cruise Critic meet last night, including some full World Cruisers. Half way through and meeting people we'd never seen before for the first time. I was having a hard time with the rocking from swells by that time but Clay wanted to order a Toohey's before they're all gone. So, I applied Motion Eaze and off we went. We stayed seated the entire time and people rotated by us.
We received an invitation to Waffles on the Bridge at 9:30 to 10:30 am tomorrow. We don't remember seeing Serenity's bridge on NWP16, so we'll go. Probably won't eat any waffles there which sounds messy.
We did not go to stargazing last night so don't know how that went. It looked iffy with cloud cover before we went to bed but the skies had had every weather during the day so it may have been crystal clear. We were sound asleep then.
The captain said this morning that we are in 6 to 8 foot swells (and I observe some choppy whitecaps on top) and due to the direction we can keep water in the pool. He expected the direction of the swells to change later today and to expect the pool to be drained due to splashing from the ship's motion. Hopefully that will be much later or not as bad as he's predicting.
We had to pick up our passports and the landing/disembarkation cards we filled out in the 1st segment today. Mauritius will require us to present them for a in person immigration clearance process to get ashore on the 28th. The ship will collect them back again sometime after we leave Mauritius. The Mauritius disembarkation form has an etching of a dodo on it!
Tonight is formal wear. It is the Crystal Society Party. We'll try to attend as we've missed the previous 2. We have dinner reservations at Umi Uma. We turn the clocks back an hour tonight.
Otherwise another lazy sea day.
