Days 39-40 - At Sea

 

Date:  Feb. 16-17, 2007

 

Location:  At Sea   

 

Next Port:  Malé, Maldives, Feb. 18

 

Quick Summary: We enjoyed two beautiful, smooth sea days. The temps have dropped to the low 80s and the same for the humidity.

 

Report:  The Indian Ocean has been characterized by very calm seas, less wind and humidity, and plenty of sunshine. We caught up on some of our reading, enjoyed the sun on the pool deck and relaxed on our veranda. Karen played giant Scrabble with Rosemary from New Brunswick and Shanghai with Larry. She also took up her bridge lessons again. 

 

We have been enjoying the pre-dinner hour in the Observation Lounge listening to Frankie on the acoustical guitar. On Friday, we had a fun dinner in Signatures with Marji and Dave from Long Boat Key, Fla. 

 

On Saturday, we enjoyed dinner in Compass Rose with Ken. Then we joined a jam-packed theater for the smash-bang Passenger Talent Show. Cruise Director Jamie and Capt. Dag, aka Julio Inglesias and Willie Nelson, started it off with a hilarious ditty, “For All the Ships We’ve Loved Before.”  Everyone who participated did a terrific job.

 

Next up: the exotic Maldives.
