On the bridge.
 |
| Ever the gracious host, Captain Dino Sagani, a friend of mine from several previous cruises (and whom I've previously performed magnetic compass adjustments), very kindly allowed me to invite some friends to the bridge for a private visit. (L-R) a cameraman filming an episode for ITV's UK documentary series 'The Cruise', Captain Sagani, Phil Garvin, Don Heathcote, Elizabeth Heathcote and Julianne Garvin. |

 |
| The 'Sea Walk' protruding from the top deck is approximately amidships, hence there is another 165 metres of ship behind it. |

| The ship's helm. |
As this was the ship's first foray into the Southern Hemisphere, the Captain asked me to perform a magnetic compass adjustment which I was happy to perform between Brisbane and Sydney.

| After the adjustment, Captain Sagani presented me with a plaque of the ship's crest - a most appreciated gift. |
Friends aboard the ship.
 |
| With dear friends, Jules and Phil Garvin, on formal night. |
 |
| Other good friends from previous cruises, Stephani and Graham. |
 |
| A convivial lunch on deck. |
 |
| At the 40 Most Traveled passengers' lunch. |
 |
| With my wonderful breakfast stewardesses, Rapunzel (L) and Inna (R). |
 |
| With another lovely bar-stewardess, Stephanie. |
 |
| With the great Conservatory Pool Bar team. |
 |
| With bar waiters Gustavo and Made. All were terrific. |
