Last night the dining room was only about two thirds full and it meant our waiters were a little more attentive than the previous night. There were a lot of passengers getting on and off yesterday at Bari and we heard another muster drill going off at the same time we had ours, the down side was the accompanying soundtrack in 4 languages was piped at a high volume into the cabin and bathroom too.
The food last night was first class and we also seemed to have inspired our table companions into getting a drinks package. As they only serve you by the glass we have got managed to get quite creative with obtaining extra glasses so that we don’t have to wait too long when empty. Needless to say quite a bit was consumed by the drinkers on our table last night. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening and to finish off with we just had a good walk around the ship after dinner opting to give the show a miss.
We were awake fairly early this morning for the sail in which is daft considering the clocks went forward an hour last night and we witnessed a beautiful sunrise over the mountains along the Greek coast. The temperature was already quite warm when we arrived at Corfu just before 9:00am. We then took breakfast on a virtually deserted ship, I have to confess to getting to really enjoy being on board when everyone else has got off.
Because we were only in port today for just 5 hours we elected to stay on the ship and enjoy the sunshine, after all that is what we really came for. The only break from lying in the sun was when I had a wander round to take some photos of the deserted upper decks and also of the Thomson Celebration which was moored along side us.
Around 1:00pm we popped down for some salad, some grilled chicken and a nice cold beer. Timed to perfection as it was again quiet when we arrived but by the time we left lots of passengers were returning to the ship as we were due to leave at 2:00pm. Today we had bing bong people and were 10 minutes late leaving but when we did sail the other two ships (Thomson Celebration & Aida Vita) gave us a good send off by some continued horn blasting. All that was left then for the remainder of the afternoon was to just lie and snooze in the sun. Bliss!!!
It’s Costa’s Gala night tonight so I am anticipating the ship to be quite lively and busy. As Pearl members we get a copy of the evenings menu delivered to the cabin.
