June 3rd to 7th 2009
Every day I met new people on the Ship and all of them were nice.
Many were from Australia and showed a lot of interest in the history of our part of the world as well as being very willing to share stories of their country. One couple tried very hard to find Australian money to show me when they heard that the picture of a distant relative of mine (Mc Arthur) was on the $5 bill. Unfortunately they had all the other denominations so I never saw the picture. However I appreciated how hard they tried!
Another young couple was from the eastern United States and were on their very first cruise. they were pleased to share with me how hard they had worked and how long they had planned for this. I found them to be delightful to talk to.
A woman from Edmonton stopped to watch me as I made my eggshell ornaments and showed so much interest I ended up showing her how to make them herself when she gets home. She was interesting to talk to. Actually, I gave instructions to a couple of other charming ladies as well. I hope they all have fun working on the eggshells!
Of course I left a card for our room steward (along with the tip) for always being there to do what ever was needed, including making the delightful towel creatures. Actually I think he spent more time in our room than we did!
A few other cards were given to people that I met who were just plain nice to talk to and just by their being there the Cruise was all the better.
