At 2.15pm in the theatre was the CEO on Norwegian Cruise Line, Kevin Sheehan.  He was very interesting but it was more a sales patter, leaving time for just three questions, none of which were too taxing for him.  That resulted in many, including myself, queuing afterwards to talk to him.  Before I went, a woman with a group of people including a Micky Arison lookalike, said to them, "He's surrounded by his sycophants" as they passed me to leave the theatre.  If she hates him or something so much, why doesn't she go and say something?  The bloke in front of me went on and on and on so the crew show was about to start then the one who'd been behind me jumped ahead just to ask him to tell someone he'd been at school with he said hello!  Then it was my turn.  First of all I asked if they planned to return to the UK and he gave lame excuses about sea days.  With P&O and Cunard struggling to fill their ships as people want less stuffiness, this is the ideal time to make a comeback.  Sea days don't bother those going on them, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and others.  Heck, even MSC has had some form of success.  

Then I asked about these bags.  "What bags?"  I explained the ones given to people on the list. "What list?" he asked before using the "Perhaps they were from their travel agent" line then feigning ignorance when I pointed out they were different nationalities who had booked via different sources and getting rid of me fast.  Maybe they hadn't banked on anyone noticing but as the daughter of a retired police officer and granddaughter of a taxman, I'm VERY observant!  Unfortunately, NCL were beginning to have a habit of selecting people.  On the Freestyle Daily, it said "We hope you're enjoying your cruise.  In the past, we asked guests to fill out a comment card, but we've replaced which traditional method with an online survey.  This new process makes gathering guest feedback and improving future Norwegian cruises faster and more efficient.  After the cruise, randomly selected guests who provided their email address during the check-in process will receive an email with a link to the survey.  We truly value your opinions and hope you will complete the survey."  If they value opinions then send it to everyone!  How do we know they sent any?  I really enjoy NCL and would sail with them more often if their single rates for fly cruises were more affordable (or they returned to the UK) but this picking and choosing is just ridiculous.  Have they become Animal Farm Cruises, where all passengers are equal, but some more equal than others?  

Anyway, the crew show lasted about twenty minutes and was very enjoyable.  We were now in thick fog so I put my coat on and wandered the deck, eager to hear the beautiful sound of the fog horn but was disappointingly silent!  I decided to try and find the Studio Lounge on deck 11 but they don't make it easy!  I walked around twice but it's hidden behind what look like crew doors.  On Epic it was easy!  Thankfully I was let in by a nice German lady to look around.  It is unfair I think that you can only use the Lounge if you're in a Studio.  Now I had really enjoyed this whole concept on Epic and the Lounge was great but this was pathetic.  There were two blokes by the bar below who were quite unfriendly and objected to any photos I wanted to take of the bar, hence there being none.  Actually made me glad I was banned from the place with people like that.  

Back to the cabin to sort my packing out then a final dinner in O'Sheehan's while Fire & Ice were playing in the Atrium.  They seemed to have far less music there than on Epic which was better then you weren't shouting when you went to Guest Services.  As I was going back to the room, found some of the crew waiting outside the Manhattan Room for their parade.  The Quest game was due to take place at Spice H20 at 10.30pm.  A few of us went, not knowing it was still going to happen or not, but the deck was very wet.  By now the fog horn was going - woooo!!!!  Ten minutes before time, two crew including Gustav, came to tell us it would now be in the Atrium.  I met Mark and Marie down there but we couldn't see anything with the crowds so didn't even realise when it was over.  A stroll around the rather wet deck for the foghorn before bed.
