We left Tromsø at 9:30pm on Saturday, February 22 and we were planned to head to Bodø the next day. But the Captain made an announcement that there was bad weather and rough seas in the
Bodø area and he felt it was too dangerous to try and dock there. So he made the call for us to just cruise the Norwegian Sea for the next two days and head down to Stavanger. We should arrive in Stavanger sometime around noon on Tuesday, February 25. So now we just have to fill our time on board the ship for the next two days.
They have lots of things planned - talks and lectures, movies, meet ups and games. There is some shopping on board, lots of food and plenty to drink. So I don't think we will be bored.
We did end up attending a couple of lectures and we did go to a LGBT cocktail meet up and visited with our friends Michael and Marina. Other than that we watched a couple of movies on our TV in the cabin, did some reading and surfed the web. We also enjoyed the views from the ship. There were times when we didn't see anything but water but other times gave us some incredible scenery. We also encountered all kinds of weather. We had snow, rain, wind, clouds and sunshine.
But after two days at sea I am ready to get off this ship and do something. I am looking forward to seeing Stavanger.
