Day 14 - Island Night (23 November 2010)


An afternoon storm was arriving when we left Darwin.





It was time for us to get ready for our Island Night: the "Down under deck party". 



With Head Waiter, Mario, who has a word in French for me each day.



Both live bands, Masquerade and Brodband, played by the pool on deck 12.




Joel, Bar Supervisor












Cocktails and beers were only $3.99 for the occasion! Cheers, Joel! Thank you for looking after me so well!



With the winner of the best costume










The best costumes won a bottle of Champagne.












We had as well a splendid Sweet Temptations Buffet organized for us on the balcony of the deck 14 with fantastic 4 mast-sail boats made of watermelons, fruits dipped in white and dark chocolate, abundance of sweets, ice sculpture and pay attention to the palm trees made of pineapples, our chefs even made little fruits & vegs monkeys climbing on them!





















Luckily, we will be able to recover with an extra half hour sleep, changing our clocks time for the third time overnight. As everyday, Briccio left a little chocolate on my bed with a fresh fruits room service card and stateroom breakfast card... just in case I wish to have a lazy morning in bed!
