Still Cruisin'

The temperature had dropped overnight. Despite this, we had a glorious day with wall-to-wall sunshine. I was up before 07:30 and had my cousins' call at 09:00.  That was about it, in terms of pre-arranged activities for today.

I spent much of the remainder of the morning and early afternoon doing further research into future cruises. I went through the offerings from 5 or 6 additional cruise lines, looked at their itineraries, looked at their prices, and reviewed YouTube videos of their accommodation. My spreadsheet grew but not by much. At least it gives us a decent starting point. 

Rant On:

By the way, if you are a person who posts YouTube videos of staterooms on ships (or anything else, for that matter), please use landscape mode and please keep still or move slowly and steadily. Some of the footage I have seen today was dreadful and was more likely to make you motion-sick than a Storm Force 11 weather event. Pick a spot, stand still, pan slowly; stop and pick another spot and pan slowly. Edit the two clips together. If you insist on moving about or filming while you walk, get a stabilizing gimbal (DJI do a nice one which will even stand on its own and track you as you move).

Rant Off.
