Christmas Day - evening

Traditional Christmas dinner was served in the evening.  We were joined by the Assistant Cruise Director, Simon, an enthusiastic young man who kept the wine flowing and even bought after-dinner drinks for the table.  We were each presented with a commemorative china plate - a collectors' item?  Ebay?  Probably not!

The show tonight was a Christmas special, with all the old favourite seasonal offerings.  Cruise Director Stein read 'T'was The Night Before Christmas' in his thick Norwegian accent, and Simon (ACD) gave an excellent reading of Benjamin Zephaniah's 'Turkey' poem.  The singers' and dancers' costumes were brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

We lingered in the lounge for a while after the show finished, watching the ballroom dancing which followed the performance.  As usual, there are gigolos onboard, but Dave may blog later about them, so I won't elaborate, except to say that we have named them!

    I must say that whilst I am enjoying this sensible informative blog I am slightly disappointed that there are no giant octupuses astride the Boudicca or flying fish jumping over the bridge !
    Sounds like they make Christmas special with FO
    Keep enjoying !
    Love from Julie and Dave
