Fun on the Ship

Fun on the Ship --  Jan. 26-31

Many fun activities have gone on around the ship as we sail to Valpariso, and Santiago, Chile.


There has been too little time to write this, but plenty of time for fun, drinks, laughs, education, games, walks, ceremonies, football, unbelievable food, and smiling crew members. 

So this will be more photos than dialogue. 

We've had a well organized fun "Crossing the Equator" ceremony.
 Our trivia team continues to do well. 
Dave is learning and playing a lot of bridge. 
My new friends from Mah Jongg have enjoyed the high tea service in the Wintergarden, in addition to morning mah jongg play. 

We had a wonderful private dinner party for 10 other friends in Manfredi's restaurant. We closed it down  after 3 hours that just flew by. We were having such great conversations and dinners. 

They showed the two live NFL playoff games on the large screen tv near the outside pool. Drinks, nachos, friendly boos and cheers, pizza and snacks. 

The busy chefs have prepared many wonderful delights with themes such as an Australia Day, a Sunday Brunch, an authentic German brunch, a British themed day. Today, the theme was Chinese New Year of the Tiger. They also have live music and dance until after midnight on the pool deck to celebrate Chinese New Year. 

Oh yes, and I missed this because of having room service for breakfast (poor me). But they had homemade Cronuts on National Cronut Day. A cronut is a cross between a flaky buttery croissant and a freshly made donut, plain, decorated, and/or filled. Hope there's a next time on that, because I saw some amazing photos of the "cronuts".
