Day 49 @ sea enroute to Melbourne

Today was a sea day and it was busy.  There were plenty of lectures but we had class.  I had to make up some of what I missed being in two fashion shows back to back days.

We are learning quite a bit.  Bill’s power cord for his IPAD is not charging so Stan let us borrow his and when we get to Melbourne we will hit the Apple store.

We got news in our cabins that Crystal Cruises has been sold.  The parent company was NYK of Tokyo now we are owned by Genting Corp of Hong Kong.  How this affects us the  cruisers not sure but we will have to wait and see.

We saw the captain in the morning in the Bistro and I told him I liked his driving because this was the 3^rd time we have come through the Tasman sea and the only time it has been smooth.  He put his finger to his mouth and said SHH you haven’t heard my morning update yet.  His update was for a powerful storm at night.  We were invited to cocktails in his quarter and I told him he better not be rockin and rollin.  After our cocktails (I had my Grey Goose Dirty Martini) we headed to dinner and then to the show.  It was a great show after Bill headed to the cigar lounge and I headed back to the cabin.  Around 2:30am I awoke with the ship rockin and rollin.  Yes Becky you would have loved it.  We were in the middle of the storm with winds at 90 miles an hour.  I got up to go to the bathroom and was knocked back down on the bed.  Figured I could wait till morning.  It lasted till morning.  We decded not to go up to the Lido for breakfast but to go to the dining room.  It was still moving quite a bit so the dining room was crowdedl
