Isn’t it sad when there’s all that amazing food on offer and all we felt like last night was a bit of fruit for dinner! Anyway, another day at sea today, and it was a really slow one. Napier isn’t very far around the coast, so we are crawling along, I had thought when I woke up that we were stationary, but not quite, lol.

There was an event tonight especially for the members of the Crown & Anchor Society (the Royal Caribbean loyalty club). The entertainment director showed us how they set up the ‘largest screen at sea’, 125 ft long x 25 ft high and curved so that it displays fantastic images. Along with the robot arms & screens we saw the first night, we watched a ‘visage’ of Da Vinci’s flying machine flying over the Acropolis and the Colosseum. Beautiful images indeed. There was then a presentation to the top cruiser on board (1000+ nights cruising). Finally, the giant screen had an ocean symphony with lots of musical sea creatures, good fun.

Then we had a late dinner, and as I had left my phone behind charging up, there was a lovely sunset!! Looks like tomorrow may actually be sunny, fingers crossed!!

Couple of photos of us leaving Tauranga, we spent ages watching the pilot boat until it retrieved him!
