I have settled in nicely. So far, the seas have been rough, but nothing more than I have seen before. Today is the third of three sea days before docking at Funchal, Madeira tomorrow. The panoramic sea and skyscapes from the Commodore Club on deck 9 are reassuringly tranquil, gentle baroque music plays softly, adding to the already relaxing ambience of what I would describe as the Observation Lounge. Any conversation is muted, a bit like a library.
Entertainment on board has so far been excellent and, in general well received.
I shall write again in the not too distant future.
