Milford Sound


After that terrible night it was great to turn on the TV to the “Bow Cam” and see up getting close to the fjords. 

The fjord was gorgeous and worth the UNESCO world site status. 




While out watching the scenery we chatted with the film crew from BBC 5 and found out how and when we can watch the show they are making on this cruise. They appeared to do filming of many of us watching the scenery so perhaps we will be on the show ( although if we are there in the completed show I imagine it will be a quick edit cut).

Once we started turning around at the end of the Sound I went back to the room as I wasn’t feeling very good again. 

According to an announcement we heard this morning the ship is experiencing cases of acute gastrointestinal issues ( yup I know the feeling!). We noticed last night that the crew had changed procedures for eating so we wondered if something was wrong. 

This morning after returning to my room I threw up again. Yuck! On both of our last cruises either me or both of us were ill. Hmmm, something to think about!

When we arrived at the second fjord I was only able to get myself up to deck 12, snap a couple of photos and back to bed

About 3:20 Caro came to the room and said it was really beautiful scenery so I got up and went to the front and watched for the last hour as we left Dusky Sound and headed back out to sea. 


Caro found out later that there were 29 instances like mine that people called the doctor for last night and that is what triggered the outbreak protocols. 

Also we heard a “code Alpha deck 7“ about 1030 last night.  That turned to be a fellow lost a large amount of money playing on the casino and started having heart issues.
