Time is an Illusion

OK, we’ve learned a few things since we “lost” Wednesday this week and it was a simple but pretty cool realization. While we did lose a day this week when we crossed the International Date Line, we will be getting that day back 1 hour at a time over the next 2 ½ months! That means we gave up 24 hours in one chunk but we get it back slowly which means we end up with an extra hour of sleep for a whole bunch of nights on the cruise. Not too bad!

Today is a sea day and there is not much to report. We’ve met some nice people and have had some fun dinners with them and some more are planned for the coming days.

We’ve been asked by some of our fellow cruisers to help them understand the general differences between Oceania (the cruise line we are on now) and Regent (the line we are getting on in Auckland and the one that we sailed on for over 150 nights). We have some good ideas about it now that we’ve been on Oceania for the past 2 weeks, but we are going to wait until we’ve been on Regent for at least a week to post our comments. The reason for the delay is that there have been a lot of changes in the cruise industry with the advent of the “mega ships” – seasoned staff members are being poached from the higher end cruise lines and that means the smaller, older ships are suffering from the loss of these folks. Stay tuned for our post on this some time in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow we have another sea day and arrive into Noumea, New Caledonia tomorrow evening.  The last French Polynesia stop on our adventure!
