Cruising Fiordland national park (or not)

I survived the rough seas and am so proud of myself that I wasn't sea sick, as many other passengets were. Due to the continuing rough seas though, what was meant to be a sedate cruise around the coastline and Milford Sound, can't happen so it is instead a full day at sea watching 4 metre swells, blue skies and nothing else. An announcement from the bridge tells us that there have been cases of gastro reported. Go figure! Everyone is reminded to wash their hands and use sanitisers! Wouldn't have thought to do that until so far into our cruise and have to wait until the Captain says so... We had already seen cabins that had had a small table placed in front of their door to show that someone in that cabin is being quarantined. One cabin down the hall from us has had the table in front of their door for about a week! A second table has appeared 2 days ago, a bit further still down the hall. Julie and I have never eaten a meal at the buffet (what I have dubbed the ship's petri dish) and are very vigilant about sanitising so are hopeful we can remain sickness free. Since day one in any port we always see at least one ambulance and often a taxi that is having someone loaded into it with luggage. At one port we saw 3 separate ambulances. One morning I saw a passenger collapsed on the floor and oxygen was being administered. The medical staff here certainly earn their money with so many elderly passengers with pre existing conditions. At least I hope everyone has comprehensive travel insurance. No wonder we were being asked if we wanted to bid for a cabin upgrade. LOL! There is nothing of interest during the day so we mooch about the cabin and then go for a cuppa in the Wheelhouse bar where there are certainly fewer passengers than usual. Time for lunch and we head to the International dining room where I had the Thai spring rolls and panko crumbed seafood. Tonight they are offering a crab shack dinner which is all seafood (at an additional cost). I would have been interested in going but it is in half of the buffet/petri dish dining area and I'm not going to risk it. There is a one hour karaoke session after lunch and 'Karen from Adelaide' who Julie insists on talking to every time she sees her around the ship, belted out 2 numbers. Ive told Julie to stop telling her how much she enjoys her singing! More wandering at large until we managed to get seats in the Explorer lounge for the 4pm quiz which proved I have no idea about lots of things. More sitting around with a cuppa. We venture into the library where there are different board games but none that appeal to us, and I've already made my position clear after our Croatian cruise that I will never play Scrabble with Julie again. We do however see some jigsaw puzzles that are underway so attempt to add some more precess to them until dinner. Not particularly satisfying though as the puzzle in working on had a note on the box cover dating that there are 23 pieces missing... So, really has been a lost day ... and then we have 2 more sea days until back to Melbourne. Haven't even found anything to photograph as I doubted you wanted to see the unfunished jigsaw puzzle of cats in a garden. Time for dinner and I have s prawn cocktail and then grilled chicken breast with some vegetables. There aren't many vegetables served with a lot of the meals unless you have the vegetarian option. I had some cheese for dessert which was a nice ending to the meal. Dinner over and done with, Julie is happy to continue wandering around but I'm over it, so head back to the cabin and determine that an early night is my best bet. Maybe I'll find lots of fun things to do tomorrow, assuming the seas are a bit smoother too!
