The ship arranged a very Impressive Anzac Day service this morning. There were about 140 ex-servicemen and women who marched along the Promenade deck and into the Vista Lounge where the Captain conducted a traditional service. This was followed by the throwing of a wreath into the sea. The oldest participant was 92.
It's vey quiet on the ship this morning as most passengers have gone ashore so we're enjoying the quietness. We tried last night to enjoy the incidental entertainment in the various lounges but we've decided that conversation is incompatible with performance. Wherever we sat there was at least one group of people, usually in prime seats, who wanted to have a loud conversation. What's wrong with these people? Have they never been taught manners? I blame the schools (everybody else does, so I might as well.)
There's not much on the program today. We might watch a movie with Will Smith after lunch or we might have a swim. We're in Alotau on Milne Bay, so it's warm, but it's raining so the scenery is a bit grey.
