I hatch a plan that we take seats outside of the restaurant while I go back inside and organise some coffee and sweets - I'm just more agile acting alone. There is an incredible crowd at the almost empty pie buffet, no unoccupied seats at the tables, too many people, too noisy, what a mess. In the afternoon there is "Coffee and pie" on the Calypso restaurant's schedule, that sounds cosy, doesn't it? IT IS NOT!Īrriving at the resaurant we realise that the rest of the ship is already present. In future travel planning I will definitely factor in the existence of this kind of edutainment aboard. I witnessed that the historic/social and scientific oriented content also met many passengers' approval. As a person being not very fond of classic cruiseship entertainment I really enjoyed these events.įrom my personal persepective the edutainment programme was a real enrichment to the overall travel experience and could even be more extended. One may guess that these lectures were not university astrophysics level. Of course one lecture was about polar lights. I attended all of the scientific edutainment programme that was astonomy related. The standard light entertainment programme is extended by lectures and workshops about historic and scientific topics adjusted to the cruise. This concept is applied to niche routes like winter cruises in the northern hemisphere or long-tail world cruises. This cruise is promoted as part of the "AIDA Selection tours". Now we are getting serious on planning our next steps: what can you do onboard? What are interesting shore excursions? The AIDA board portal becomes a permanent open browser tab one finds any relevant information for the life onboard there: access to the cabin account, ship position, speed and course data or weather - the bridge is now under surveillance - dayplanner for events, schedules, menu plans etc. The bright winter sun pushes the passengers onto the upper decks, covered in yellow fleece blankets people are laying in the sun like being on a holiday.
