Regent model?? |
My absolute favourite day on a
cruise (other than perhaps meeting an Indian family at the Taj Mahal) is a sea
day. We’re still not sleeping in, but anytime I wake up without an alarm is a
sleep in to me. I realize this morning (actually at about 3:30 this morning)
that we went a little crazy with asking for extra pillows, we ended up with 8…not
necessary. After lazing around a bit we decide to check out the lecture on Thursday’s
port Sabang, Malaysia. These port talks typically describe the port and the
excursions available. Sabang apparently is a rarely visited place by tourists
and cruise ships.

During the talk it is made
abundantly clear that this is not a touristic port and that the facilities and
will be basic at best – there are no certified guides, the guides will be students,
teachers, retirees or housewives. There are no taxis and transportation is
either private car or becak (tuk-tuk) – fine as we rarely venture out on our
own when a tour is available. There is no mention of how ‘basic’ the toilet
facilities will be which speaks volumes – I know how to deal with this!!

We get in a quick breakfast
before another talk about the history of Malaysia and Indonesia. This is very
welcome as although we’ve visited here before, I really have no clue about this
area of the world.
Before dinner we go to the
captain’s welcome reception for a drink and some snacks, where many of the
staff introduce themselves.
Dinner is in the main dining room
as it was last night. We decide against the evening show as for some reason it
seems like we’ve had a hard day!
