February 20, 2013 Sea Day


Another lazy day at sea. It was bright and sunny for the morning walk and for laying out on the sun deck in the afternoon. In between there was time for reading and lunch. Very good lunch today. I had a great potato and leek soup, spicy beef chimichanga (was more like an empanada) and Nasi Goreng for the main course. Spicy & sweet chicken & rice dish with a tasty fried egg on top. Marianne ordered the Tortilla soup and they had put my croutons in her soup and her tortilla strips in my soup. Ah well, it’s all good!
There is a Happy Hour every night in one of the lounges upstairs for Platinum, Elite and Suite passengers. Reduced price cocktails and free munchies. Last night Marianne had invited Jeff & Julie, a very nice young Canadian couple to join us. They are doing the full world cruise, but Jeff has never cruised before and Julie had only done 1 Caribbean cruise prior to signing up to do the full world cruise. We exchanged some information on Burnie, Tasmania as they are thinking of renting a car there.
Dinner was good with a tasty creamy onion soup and apple pie for dessert. I had the pork entrĂ©e, but didn’t care for it. Greg had fish and salad.
The evening entertainment was Peter Paki billed as New Zealand’s most popular variety entertainer. I thought he was high energy and he played a wide variety of music. I described him as a lounge lizard on steroids….LOL. He did a lot of Tom Jones songs and I kept expecting someone to toss their granny panties up on stage. (no I didn’t toss mine)
There was a 70’s party in the Pacific Lounge that we watched for a while.
Tomorrow is another day at sea!
