It’s been harder to get out of bed in the mornings since Papeete – we’ve lost 3 hours over the last few days and as we put our clocks forward at night, that means less sleep unless you sleep in. Sunrise is later so I no longer have the sun to wake me naturally either.
This morning I attended a reception where 205 fellow passengers and I were recognised for earning our Copper Medallions. Apparently this is a HAL record and after the reception as we all headed off to lunch the ship listed to one side under the weight of all our hardware.
Today is also Halloween, which we don’t really get into back home in Australia so it was interesting to see the involvement around the ship. A few passengers were dressed in costume nearly all day. I have to admit I didn’t realise they were in costume until I saw them again later in the evening with all the other partygoers – I just thought they had a funny idea of cruise attire!
The dining room was decorated in black and orange with cobwebs and spooky ornaments, and this theme was carried on through the atrium and Queens Lounge. One of the arts and craft classes had been pumpkin carving so these were displayed for judging.

And the main event for Halloween …. a dessert gala at 9.30pm set out around the three storeys of the atrium and neighbouring bars. You would think after 4 weeks at sea the thought of more dessert would make us groan with boredom but apparently not!
