We have had a few developments onboard the ship in the last few weeks. First of all, we were not allowed to use the internet or cell phones or have the Casino open while in Japanese waters which turns out to be 12 and a half miles from shore. All passengers were ticked off for it is our life-line to the outside world. For the entire time of 11 days, we were cut off. Many people had visited Japan on a cruise ship last year, and there were no such rules so the tongues were wagging around the ship as to why the rules now. We still don't know why. All we know was it was a major inconvenience.
Another development was the cancellation of our port Otaru, Japan (so we managed to get on to the internet two days earlier than expected) because the pod is still not functioning at 100% and we are not making the speed we need to have to make it to Russia in time. The gossip around the ship is that it will have to go into dry dock after LA. I met a lady and her husband who have gone on 21 world cruises and have been on this ship since November and are not leaving the ship till June in Lisbon. They are worried.
So that is the news around the ship. And oh yes, we are heading to cooler weather and all of us are bundling up with warm clothes. Forecast in Russia is 30 F, burrrrrr cold. I bet you are feeling good about that.
