After the long day yesterday we decided to stay on the ship today and relax, eventually leaving the cabin at around 10:45 to see what was on offer at the grille area at the back which is where they serve what Costa call the late breakfast. Fruit, cheeses and cold meats and iced buns so we decided to wait for lunch opting for a couple of the coffees that come with the all inclusive drinks packages we have bought.
In daylight we could see how far we are out from Dubai itself, in fact its quite a distance from anywhere really.
Its been a really warm day and lovely to just sit out and relax and the ship has almost been deserted as you will see from these photos.
As predicted, we have a deeper balcony at the aft. The only downside is the privacy issue with the adjacent cabins. You would also have thought that sun beds would have been better being as there is enough room.
We popped into the dining room after the muster to find that we are on a table of 6. Hopefully we will have some good company. Strangely enough there appears to be plenty of Brits on board this time which has not been the case in previous Costa cruises.
Sailaway was at 6:00 after the muster drill and we managed to get a quick glimpse of the QE2 berthed in an area where she doesn’t deserve to be.
