Day 53 - Another half day in SF.

A good sleep, but we both heard a ‘ding’ at 4am.  Maybe someone on the bridge hit the wrong button for the change of watch?  No announcement followed.

We were up and about at 8am because our electricity was going to be off at 9am.

Once again, we wandered through Pier 39 and then up to 45, before a steady amble back.  We bought a small gift for a friend and Paula bought another fleece top.  Why not?  At that price it makes sense.

We were back on board 11:30 and to the lifeboat drill (again) at 12:15.  Straight after, we joined the rush to the buffet!  The chowder was NOT the best in the world, but OK, then to the sailaway, where there were free drinks.   That usually makes for happy passengers but was a small compensation for missing San Diego.

Trivia, we managed 24/26, so just missed out again as others did better.

The evening late show was one number by the dancers and orchestra and then, back by popular demand, Assistant Cruise Director Jamie.  Probably not the huge success of his first show in the Vista lounge, but still a very good show.

So, back at sea now for another 4 days before we hit Nawiliwili (that is the correct spelling, not the double ‘L’s I may have used before).  We were last there in 2007 when we did the 7 day Hawaiian Islands with NCL.  It seems a long time ago now, but that was my first ever cruise.

The weather will be warming up again now but as we have only had one wet port day since leaving Sydney, we have no complaints about the weather or the sea, as it continues to be very calm.

We now have a new captain.
