At sea, day 2

Woke up at 5.30am the sea was calm, we had passed from the northern Tasman to the Coral sea.

This shows the position.

This morning there was a church service held in one of the bars,  the colony club. Very Anglican in nature and very packed out with people. Last night after dinner, a celebration of Christmas was held, and after singing many Christmas carols,  the had a light up the tree ceremony in the centrum. It is a lovely sight, and there is live music most of the time, currently a duo of guitar and electric violin, really well done.

The tree,  about 2 stories high.

The two musicians who lay very well.

Glass lifts in the centrum. 

 The view looking up
At dinner had the company again of a very nice man called Martin from Utrecht. When i got back to my cabin, the light was fading,

And I had been left a little mouse by my cabin girl

Very inventive and typical of a cruise ship.

the band in the centrum was playing Neil Diamond,  and many people were on the dance floor. Royal Caribbean do live music very well.
