Aruba tomorrow

Maybe a little better

Still I ordered room service (oatmeal) and took the ant nausea drug. My balance is better but I still require something to hang on to.

Destination lecture

Yesterday’s lecture was on the TV and I’m more hopeful about Aruba. I was very underimpressed last time.

Weather

Varies. We have had rain. There is a storm in the Caribbean so the ship’s motion varies from calm to “hang on”. The nurse said 50 new crew who came on in Ft. Lauderdale, are havng seas sickness. They’ll get their sea legs soon enough.

Trivia

OMG! We were stunned! With a score of 12, we tied with another team. The person calling it decided to give us all prizes (it seems they brought some new ones on board in Ft. Lauderdale). So we both got a neck holder for passport, cell phone, pens and such. I had wanted one to compare with our previous supply.

Our team has our usual 4 for the morning including now one man probably 90 travellingwith his son who is so cute, and a guy who’s whole team left in Ft. Lauderdale. As usual we had some correct answers we didn’t choose. And lots of guesses which panned out. Some questions were ones we recognized from previous quizzes but to recall the correct answer is a challenge. We need a younger person desperately as many music questions are “Idunno!” type for us.

Lunch

Told Ed I didn’t want to share a table (he loves tor regale people with his many tales and brilliance). Had brought along doggie bags in case I had a problem: no trash cans in the dining room. The albondigas soup was marvelous and then I ordered a vegetarian dish with bell peppers and rice. I was OK with about half of it as I wasn’t going to overdue it. Decided I’d just take these drugs through tomorrow.

Trivia: we were no threat to anone. Lots of aussie questions

Formal portraits.

Gave flowers to others to use.

Farewell party

For the captain who is leaving and introducing the staff to the new folks who came on board in ft. Lauderdale. The Atrium is a good space for this. The visuals are so dramatic for this lovely boutique ship.

The Perfect Gentlemen

A 4 part group with good voices and a clever style. Not sure I’d recommend them but they did keep you guessing about how they are doing something.
