Today was supposed to be Shanghai. We had a private tour scheduled and were supposed to be picked up in the terminal building at 7:45 am. We got up, had room service and got dressed. It was very choppy outside and raining.
Soon the Captain came on and told us that Shanghai port was closed and we were experiencing 85 mile per hour winds. Things were not going to improve anytime soon. We also had been trying to get into port since 1:00 am so we were still 6 hours out. The decision was made to skip Shanghai. I was relieved because I didn't care anything about going out in rainy weather for a tour. I feel bad for our private tour guide because they weren't able to make money from us that day.
Since this was an unscheduled sea day it was taking them awhile to get things opened up on the ship. They soon gave us a new daily schedule but there really wasn't much added. They did add bingo so we went to that but once again had no luck.
Just another slow lazy day.
Later on in the day the Captain came on and said he knew we were all disappointed about missing our call in Shanghai. We were going full speed ahead and were making preparations for us to have 2 days in Hong Kong instead of 1. I was glad because I think I would rather go to Hong Kong 2 days so things are turning up good.
