Last night was a formal night—and actually the first one where we got all decked out in our finest threads! ππ€΅ Now that we are officially on our second Seabourn voyage, we were invited to the Seabourn Club party in the Grand Salon. Since it was our first one, we attended… and it will probably be the last one we attend π. It’s Seabourn’s version of Princess’ Captain’s Circle Party. The ship’s officers lined the entrance as you walked in, and servers circulated with canapΓ©s and drinks.
Two guests were recognized for surpassing 1,000 sea days with Seabourn. One of them was our new Australian friend, Mr. C π¦πΊ. The most traveled guests were also recognized, having logged an impressive 1,450 sea days—wow! π²
Afterward, we made our way to the Observation Bar, where we sat next to a very nice couple from New York City π½ and had a really interesting conversation. It has truly been enjoyable meeting so many intriguing and personable fellow guests, all with such varied life experiences.
We then enjoyed a very nice dinner in The Restaurant, followed by the show in the Grand Salon.
The performer had an outstanding voice, but his set consisted entirely of Broadway numbers—not really our thing.
Oh well, a little culture never hurts every once in a while π.
This morning found us in Anelghowhat, Anaton, Vanuatu (quite the mouthful!), and more specifically, the tiny uninhabited Mystery Island π️.
After a light breakfast in the Colonnade ☕π₯, we were among the first on the water shuttles to the island.
Side note: Even though we brought along foreign currency from home, we’ve had no issues at all using U.S. dollars. Today, we were even given change in USD.
We rented one of the cabanas and had an amazing time swimming and lounging π♀️π. It wasn’t quite as private as our last beach day, but it came pretty darn close! Only two other couples were using the cabanas π.
After about three hours, some rather nasty-looking clouds began rolling in ☁️π§️, and it was clear rain was coming—and likely for a while. We gathered our things and hightailed it back to the pier, about a 10-minute walk. As we waited for the water shuttle, the rain started π§️. Perfect timing—we made it back onboard just in time!
All in all, it was a fantastic day πΊπ.
