Ooops I
slept in
So I barely
made it to services and I had a hard time focusing in the remarks and the
service. But I was there!
Women
pirates
This was a
good one with much lore about Mary Read and Anne Bonney. I went to get
something and ran into a sale I could not refuse and got two tops I’ll wear a
lot and the prices were a real bargain.
Trivia
OMG we WON!
It wasn’t an easy trivia. I think our score was 17 but we weren’t hopeful. I”ll
spare you a re run of the questions. Our “prize” was a Pacific Princess post
card with a memorial pin attached. It says these sell in the gift shop for
$5.95. I don’t see how and some folks have talked of taking it back and asking
for a trade for something of equal value. So far, no one has had the cheek to
do that. Ha.
Welcome to
America brunch
Oscar was
dressed as Uncle Sam and all the wait staff were in variations of Red White and
blue. The food was very good and included hot dogs and hamburgers in the
corner.
Choir
farewell concert
It really is
quite amazing what David Crathorne is able to forge out of this group of
strangers and varyng talents.
Formal night
We got into
our glad rags: Ed looking like James Bond, me in my green sequined top which,
if I had auctioned it off, probably would have paid for the cruise given the
number of compliments it engendered. This ws not spoiled by the fact that I put
on a red and a black shoe not realizing I didn’t have a pair. I soldiered on
convinced that no one would notice while discretely pointing it out to trusted
folks. The photographer assured me it wouldn’t show in the photos.
Special
dinner
Dr. chuck
invited 10 of us for a small gathering and to get to know different of his new
found friends, and some old ones (ed and I and another couple) from previous
cruises. It was nicely done in a quiet area of a little known area of the ship.
Tonight’s
show
Again the
dancers and singers gave us a marvelous show with high lifts and amazing
athleticism. We will miss them for so many reasons; I’ve grown quite fond of
these kids and feel as if we are almost family. They are off to a larger ship
where they will not have as much interaction with the passengers. Quite a
different experience. However, they are due to return for next year’s around
the world cruise.
