At sea, our first day sailing out of Brisbane
The ship's clocks' adjusted forward an hour overnight as we sailed east to New Caledonia. This caused a bit of confusion between the six of us as we planned to meet for breakfast in the main dining room, only to realize two of the ladies in one of the cabins' had not read the ship's 'Good Times' guide to activies on board the Aria where the alteration had been listed. Yesterday had been fairly tiring and it would have been easy to overlook the post to check-out the next day's activities. Not to worry, we got through breakie and met a lady who was travelling by herself who joined us several times during the cruise.
Once again I am impressed with this ship. The decor of the main dining room and set-up is another pleasant surprise.
Our cabin stewards are both from Vanuato and both worked on cleaning the cabins similtaniously. Usually we have mainly had stewards from the Phillipines, so I found it lovely to see local nationalities working on the ships which ply the waters to their country.
Our first little 'friend' made by our stewards.
One of the first assignments after breakfast just had to be to buy our Bingo tickets and dobbers for the first Bingo call of the cruise. Before joining the gals in the Marquee (the Aria's main theatre) for morning Bingo I wandered to the 12th floor where the deck has a tennis court and the walk overlooks the main pool to view the Edge Flying Fox on Deck 14 Aft.

The main swimming pool which has a retractable roof.
The flying fox's zip line hangs over this area.
