Rhodes is another port on this year’s itinerary we have
visited before. Although on the one hand it seems to us that we may be wasting
a visit by being someplace we’ve seen before, this gives us the opportunity to
see less visited sights or take a bit of a slower pace at cruising.
This morning we were still on the boat when the crew had
their safety drill. They take this
very seriously which I’m very glad about –
they know what they’re doing.
Clean laundry has become my mission. Although we did
laundry 2 days ago, why not do it again?? So, when the closest laundry room is
full I don’t return to my cabin defeated, I carry on to the next closest, and
so on until I find an open machine. Finally…jackpot!!!
Next was a couple of hours of pool time followed by
shopping and lunch.
Rhodes old town is a charming touristy town with all you
would expect – shops, restaurants, cafes etc. We find lunch at a place with a
second floor so that we can see the square below. This place also (like most
others) has wifi. We have all the wifi we can want on the boat, but the boat
blocks updates. I have 37b updates, so we bring our iPads to get updated. Lunch
is a surprise of Greek salad, calamari, wine and beer.

Tonight we experienced the excellent service we remember
from past cruises – not that we’ve experienced anything but great service so
far, well there was that one night in the French restaurant when dinner took
2.5 hours and the waiter made us feel like we were inconveniencing him by being
there. Tonight I asked for a particular wine in the lounge that they didn’t
happen to have at the moment. I said ‘no problem’ and asked for another. The
response was ‘no, no, just give me a moment to get you that one from downstairs’
– OK, I’m in no rush. The waiter apologized profusely and promised that when we
come back tomorrow that we won’t have to wait!

My biggest complaint today for was that the orange juice
in my mimosa was too pulpy – that’ll teach me for bastardizing perfectly good
champagne.
