Once again, East China Sea – 12th November 2026

Location at 6.07 (5.07 at home), dawn & sunrise

Nothing much doing this sea day. read on the balcony for a couple of hours, did my pool exercising. A bit of family tree, lunch, then jigsaw and a nap, lol.

There are 4,500+ guests on this cruise. 1500+ are Chinese nationals and 2500+ are international guests. So there is a lot more English speaking going on this trip.

Had a chat with the head waiter, from Romania, at lunch time. He’s been doing it for 31 years and says that people are definitely changing. They used to be more sympathetic, understanding and friendly. Now they seem to be only interested in themselves and their phones!

Today’s towel creature is Miss Piggy (I think!!!)

I thought I would walk down the opposite corridor to dinner and found more interesting artworks. Here’s one of them! Would be another fun jigsaw!

Excursion tomorrow, so watch this space, lol.
