The Wrap-Up Post

 All in all we had a great time on Crystal 2.0 and are looking forward to the next time we're on board.

This wrap-up post is just one where I want to share the results of some of those activities that we have always enjoyed. During the COVID break, I had been working on pen and watercolour wash sketching with a view to starting some travel sketchbooks, and once we began cruising again in 2022, I brought my supplies along and have been working on these along with doing the blog.

Here's what I did during the cruise:

Jigsaw puzzles have become such a hot activity, especially on the luxury cruise lines, that I was very happy to see that they had been included at the new Lounge. I started this 1000 piece puzzle, and I think managed this much all by myself.

We were glad to see that Odyssey Art at Sea had returned with classes on sea days. We didn't have that many days, but I went to a couple of classes. My works:

And finally, my travel sketches for this trip. As I do all of them from photos, I always have to catch up on the last ones when we get home.

As always, we hope you've enjoyed following along with this trip to some new ports of call in our own country.

Our next cruise is set for November in the Caribbean on Oceania's new ship, Vista.
