A "Not Very Good" News Day - November 25

Jeremy usually makes announcements at 9:30 each sea day.  Today Erica made the announcements and she quickly explained why.  Jeremy has tested positive for Covid, so he will be confined for most of the next week.

The second news came from the Captain in his noon update.  Because of high winds, it would be dangerous to tender tomorrow so the port of Luderitz, Namibia has been canceled.  There are some unhappy people onboard. 

We had our second Cruise Critic Meet and Greet this morning.  It was a good turnout for a second one.  

Not much else new or different other than those things.  

All of us were present for dinner and we heard about the safari Sherry and Pete went on and the trip to Aquila Game Reserve that Judy and Bob did.

I heard some negative reviews of the comedian and since I usually don't care much for them anyway, I skipped the show.
