Seabourn Odyssey Iced in New Zealand
It was like something out of “The Hobbit.” Seabourn Odyssey was sailing along mid-day off the coast of New Zealand between Timaru and Akaroa when suddenly the sky opened up and dropped a half-hour hailstorm of epic proportions onto guests and staff enjoying lunch-time on the Colonnade terrace and at the Patio Grill. Was it a spell from the evil Sauron, or simply a natural summertime phenomenon? No matter to the guests, whose cup of tea suddenly became iced tea! Thanks to Hotel Director Guenter Steinbrunner, who sent along the pictures to prove it.

Gimme shelter: Bar Manager Robert McGillivray and Head Bartender Ivaylo Dimitrov duck under cover on the Pool Patio.
