Sunday Sept 27

Still only 6 for dinner.

We never got a glass of champagne from the Champagne Waterfall. There were just too many people. So we went early to the theater to see the singers and the dancers. We sat on the first row. The show was good.

Jack looked WONDERFUL in his white dinner jacket. We were happy to see so many dressed. Actually there were very few who did not have on Tux or dark suits. The ladies did not look like the same people we had seen out and about all day long. It was a very nice formal night.

For the life of me I can't figure out why we stay so sleepy. But after the show we went back to our cabin set the clock back an hour, watched a Sandra Bullock movie on TV and fell asleep.

We have been to hear all three of the lecturers. Two we really like because of their humor. Our favorite is still Maxtone-Graham, the gentleman who talks about the history of cruising.

We like the cruise director Richard Joseph and his deputy Julie. The ship is sailing fairly level. There is plenty of food and drink from which to choose. There are good production shows and other entertainment.

We watched dancers and string quartet in the piazza and watched the singer Lisa Donovan in the Vista Lounge. There are games, bridge, bingo, art sales and trivia etc going on all day long. We haven't been to the Spa but Vanya and her Mother bought a spa package they are crazy about.

Still, I like sitting out by the pool the best of all...... well, that and taking a nap...... sometimes we combine those activities!! So no complaints... we are happy as clams.

Today is Sunday. Another day at sea. There are church services in the morning and then a typical sea day. Tomorrow Hawaii!! We have a ships excursion to the top of the volcano... 13000 ft high.
