Comments

Very quiet on board for the start of the day as everyone catches up on well deserved rest after the Casey resupply. The galley team provided us with a scrumptious Christmas lunch and with all the decorations, everyone together it did start to feel like Christmas. After lunch we had a visit from Santa and everyone received a gift. Then as on a normal Christmas everyone headed off for a nap after having such a large lunch. So far the seas have been calm and all have their fingers crossed this continues for a smooth trip home. REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
