2:46 p.m. CET Last night was quite a relaxed affair, a lot more laid back than the night before, but still a good night, I still had several requests and there were a few couples and groups who were in for most if not all of the evening, and were very complimentary.

This ship seems to have a warmer atmosphere than the York (or the Hull). The other day the purser and the assistant purser were taking a break in the crew mess and chatting away to everyone. At lunch today I was sat with George, one of the ship’s policemen, and two Dutch guys talking about football. I later discovered that the chap who had been sat next to me was the captain! That would never happen on either of the English ships.

The rest of the Ent’s crew have gone out for a meal this afternoon for another crew member’s birthday, but I decided to stay here and do some practice, a decision I am now glad of since the weather is quite volatile. I may venture out to the terminal in a while though, just to get a change of scenery.

11:10 a.m. GMT A fairly hectic night last night, we had large group of football supporters on who were fairly rowdy. Fortunately things remained fairly placid in the piano bar however, despite it being very busy. Played a couple more new songs last night, namely Blue Eyes by Elton John, and Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross. They went down well, and although there were a few attentive parties, generally I only had a luke-warm reception. Still not a bad night though.
