Tuesday 3 March

Well, there’s a good chance that the prawns last night had a problem. I spent the next three hours in and out of the bathroom, emptying from both ends. As there was a little bit of spillage, I had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned and I also thought I should let them know in case anyone else reported an illness. Silly me! I was confined to my cabin till 24 hours after the symptoms. I had been hesitant to report (for that very reason), but thought it important that they knew in case it was a kitchen problem. 

So I’m stuck here but I have lots to do. I ordered breakfast of toast and Vegemite. The lady on the phone said “what’s that?” So I settled for jam, but when the tray turned up, in addition to the little jar of jam there was a little pot with a large dollop of Vegemite!

There’s a grey sky out there, grey ocean and we’re rolling gently along, at quite good speed. The family have been out and about but Alison said it’s horrible outdoors, very cold and windy. I’m sooo looking forward to walking Promenade Deck.

Tonight I will miss the Ball – oh well, not much I can do about it!

Food today was pretty boring but I ordered some vegan options for dinner for a bit of variety. You can’t the dining room menu delivered. Before they left, the family came in so I could take some pictures.

Tonight the stewards agreed to lower the third bunk bed in Alison and Simmo’s room. Becky had agreed to sleep in Grandma’s room earlier on, but they thought it would be easier to have her in their room if they could get the extra bed. So I am having an early night and I think they may have done the same – 9.30.
