Today I didn’t have an excursion selected before we left on the cruise and by the time I checked the ones that I wanted were full. That meant I had the day on-board while in port to enjoy. Although maybe enjoy isn’t quite accurate as I spent time on financial matters (checking accounts, paying credit cards, answering emails). I liked the faster Wi-FI tho.
I did enjoy getting off the ship and seeing the little market that was setup just outside the pier. Plus I set foot on the land of another country (Vanuatu).
Oh and it was tartlets for Afternoon Tea so that was fun plus we had a Captain’s cocktail hour for those that have been on Oceania cruises before. The person with the most cruises on this segment was from Arizona and had been on 142 cruises for a total of 1947 days. Third place was from Missouri and had been on 84 cruises.
We are scheduled for a stop at Port Villa in Vanuatu but a recent earthquake damaged the pier and the captain said we’d have to see about visiting because the weather may make it unsafe to visit without a pier. We’ll find out tomorrow.
