Oct 27, 2024 12:00 AM Second Sunday 27 October!

Second Sunday 27 October! Lovely day at sea. Blue ocean around. Strong sun...
Last evening in the theater I attended Rock Revolution 69.
Very dynamic show with plenty of technical tricks, laser lights and lighting drones flying over the public. 8 singers and the rock band presented excellent performance with the music of 70ties. The best show on this ship so far!



Oct 25, 2024 12:00 AM Captain's cocktail today!

Captain's cocktail today! Lovely, sunny day. Blue and completely empty ocean around. 29 deg Celsius in the shade. We are passing Marshall Islands, but they are not visible on the starboard (right) side of the ship... Well, I visited Marshall's twice: once staying on the capital atoll, second time - sailing on the small motor boat to remote Arno Atoll. Memories, memories...
Our Italian captain Luca invited us for the captain's coctail. He is my 41st captain! Champagne and wine were unlimited, but the best thing was the music from my best times. We took informal picture. On the stage he was looking tall man. But what you see on the picture?... Thank you captain!



Oct 24, 2024 12:00 AM Our funny chef...

Our funny chef... Foggy morning on the Pacific... They are expecting weather improvement in the afternoon...
Our Italian captain Luca is perfectly isolated from the passengers. Since the beginning of the cruise I saw him twice only: speaking from the balcony with a glass of wine in his hand (Passengers did not received any glass - that's Carvival) :) and second time: posing for the expensive paparazzi picture with the passengers.
It is much easier to see our chef -the chief cook. He is coming to the restaurants to ask people about the taste and quality of served food. I had a pleasure to talk with him. He is from Goa in India. Since I have been there he was happy to talk about beaches of Goa and about local food. What a nice, funny man!



Oct 23, 2024 12:00 AM I have new friends from Brazi!

I have new friends from Brazi! More sun today! It is more than 3000 passenger aboard our ship and it is difficult to find the people You want to meet. But sometimes the coincidence helps. I was looking for the free in the buffet restaurant and there was only one seat available: with the charming family of Roberto and Andrea. They travel with their teenage daughters Priscilla and Rebecca. They had tons of questions related to my travel passion... Very intelligent and nice people! The whole family live near Sao Paulo airport - they invited me in case I will be flying there once more. I will - in March! You are welcome to Poland, dear friends!



Oct 21, 2024 12:00 AM Cancelled Guam landing...

Cancelled Guam landing... Stormy weather. It is dark around, the ship is rocking on the waves. Tomorrow we should visit the American island of Guam in Micronesia. But the captain, Luca Lazarino announced that due to the expected worsening of weather conditions, the strong currents (they didn't know them before?) and the dalay we gain disembarking the ill passenger our visit to Guam will be cancelled - it is necessary to arrive on time to Honolulu. This decision is not so painful to me because I have been to Guam before. But what we were paying for? Captain promised to refund unpaid port charges - 61 dollars per passenger. In the morning I attended Malay dances class. It is interesting, but I can say the true: I prefere to dance tango, waltz or foxtrot aboard lovely Costa ships. Such opportunity will come only in December! :)



Oct 20, 2024 12:00 AM Ice carving on the sea..

Ice carving on the sea.. Sea is more rough today. Our cabin steward told me that in the night we visited one of the port in the northern Philippines to disembark ill passenger and his family. It happens... Security first... In the middle of the day we had ice carving presentation on the open deck 10. I saw already such an attraction on the other ships: the talented Philippine cook apeared with the big block of ice. Within 15 minutes this block was converted into the head of the American Indian Chief. Fantastic! In the afternoon there was a lot of music and in the evening - the performance of the Australian juggler. Nice day, but in the evening the sea became even more rocky! Fortunately my cabin is on the deck 1 - the rocking here is not so strong :)



Oct 19, 2024 12:00 AM Sailing blue seas...

Sailing blue seas... We deserved a good rest after yesterday's "pandemonium". Long sleeping, good and quiet breakfast with a view of endless blue south sea... I had a time toake first laundry and update my travel notes. At noon there was a chance to see interesting folklore performance in the theater (they call it here Liquid Lounge) and some people went to the school of dancing. In the evening there will be another show. I do not go to the dinner - too much food!...



Oct 18, 2024 12:00 AM Manila, nor vanilla

Manila, nor vanilla We reached the capital of Philippines early in the morning. Few minutes after 8 with my excursion ticket in hand I was already near the bow gangway on deck 1, dedicated to those who will be boarding on the shore excursions bus. Message: go to the deck 2. On this deck was already long line of travellers. Message: only bow gangway will be open for some reason... Imagine 3000 passenger wishing to disembark through one door! I spent in the cramp and hot corridor 2 hours before they allowed me to get out of the ship. Everybody was tired and nervous. Passengers were ironically jocking that this ship should be called "Carnival Pandemonium" instead "Carnival Panorama"...
The bus was waiting. They took us to Rizal Park, where monument of the national hero stands, then through heavy traffic to the business district with skyscrapers, kalesa horse carts and jeepneys (they are less bright then during my visit in 1997, but still noisy). Then we spent a time visiting neat American War Cemetery with high building of downtown in the background. Finally they took us to the old town where brilliant church of St Augustine with museum in the convent is worth to see. Manila is interesting but require more time. Our excursion was shortened, nobody said -we apologize, we will compensate you this "event"... Shame, Carnival Cruises!



Oct 17, 2024 12:00 AM Sa0iling South China Sea...

Sa0iling South China Sea... It is good to have the friends, especially if you are in trouble! I found such a friends aboard! Teresa and Charlie are from USA. Hearing about my problems with Philippines QR arrival code spontaneously offered me their access to the net! I was impressed! It is already done and I am fully set for the Philippines! Thank you so much! And welcome to Poland whe re I will be hosting you in my dacha near Gdansk!
Today we had calm seaa but cloudy morning. I attended the lecture about Manila and about the fauna of the Pacific. In the afternoon the sun appeared and I was sunbathing on the dack about one hour. No more, the sun is very strong on the Sooluth China Sea! :)



Oct 16, 2024 12:00 AM Borneo - pure tropic...

Borneo - pure tropic... Today we visited Kota Kinabalu - the capital of Sabah province on Borneo. I have been here years ago. No much changes visible. On the route to Mari-Mari Cultural Village we stopped at the picturesque city mosque..
In the village they are showing the traditions and houses of the 5 main tribes living in Sabah. I had a chance to see costumes and national dances, I also tried national dishes, to touch their weapon and handicrafts. Young people working here are very friendly and knowledgeable. But the day was very hot and humid. I returned to the ship only about 3 pm. But what a pleasure to refresh memories! Borneo people conserve well their traditions!
