This is our son, Royce’s birthday, but we can’t wish him a happy birthday today because back in the States it is still yesterday, April 1st. We will have this date deferential until we set our clocks back another 16 to 20 hours to get this resolved.
As you may know by now, our cruise course has been changed because of the war in the Middle East. We will divert south after Singapore and go around the southern tip of Africa and up their west coast until we get to Southampton England. I will try to get our new ports of call and course uploaded. Of course we are disappointed, but others are more dissatisfied. There was a meeting of the Captain, General Manager, and Cruise Director with all the Around the World passengers to give us the option of getting off the cruise in Singapore and then rejoining the cruise in Southampton if people did not want to go around Africa. We are also getting a refund of 10% of our cruise cost toward a future cruise, but of course this is unsatisfactory to some people as well. Go figure!
On a positive note, we were able to watch the Artemis II launch today. We will be in Fiji tomorrow.
Keep your chins up and stay positive. We are hopeful that our Sept Egypt trip stays on track, but only time will tell.
