We left Napthion to one of the obligatory Greek Island stops, Myconos. The winds were high and several cruise ships backed away and did not stop. Mom was a bit unwell in the weather.
This town is a tourist trap disguised as a fishing village. I think travelers hold it in low regard. It is still a pretty town with some nice beaches, the town a crowded group of white single story homes with narrow streets and countless tiny churches. It is a sliver of an island with a calm bay and rough water just thirty yards away on the other side of the island. We had a brunch on the dock side. It was quiet with few ships due to the winds.
There is a group of dancers on the ship, women with dancing shoes accommodated by professional male dancers, a pro woman or two for balance. They are all Asian and their husbands spend their time in the casino while the women dance to the ship's band, a Filipino group that is pretty good when they stay away from Elvis imitation.
The official story--i.e. rumor--is that the ship's capacity is about 1500, there are 480 on board with 580 crew.
