This
morning I skipped walking the halls (weather is still too windy & rainy to
walk the track) to attend the memorial for Judy. On the way to breakfast I ran
into Charles and we hugged & talked about it. He is very lucky that he
knows some people very well on the ship from previous cruises and it has been a
huge support base for him. He spoke at the memorial and I admired his strength
to get up and talk about her. He will be disembarking in Auckland. It was a very nice memorial.

They
had a Sunday Brunch today and it was a Tropical theme. This time we went early
since last time we waited until after Bingo and most everything was gone and
they were tearing down tables around us. We were able to sit by ourselves, so
we could eat quickly and still make Bingo. We didn’t win, but Greg came close
on several of the games. After Bingo we went back and had a small amount of the
lobster mac & cheese (it was very good) and grabbed some of the bananas
dipped in the chocolate fountain.
I’m
going to go upstairs and attempt to get photos uploaded. We are still having
crappy weather, I’m sure that doesn’t help.
Internet
was painfully slow, but the big excitement is that we now see land as the
Captain backtracks back to Auckland. I now have phone data and am using that to
try and get all the albums up for the last 3 ports. So, even if it’s slow I
don’t care since it isn’t burning my shipboard internet minutes. Free is good!

lots of dolphins today
We
rushed a bit through dinner (just didn’t linger chatting with Rondi & Roy)
so we could get decent seats for the show. The evening entertainment was
another brand new production show called Crossing the Atlantic. (it was a
montage of music from the British Invasion) Even though I like that music, I
wasn’t overly fond of the show. The female lead singer is just not very good,
and it was hard to even recognize the songs. The dancers are great, but not
quite in synch with these new shows.
After
that we went upstairs to the evening game show which was a family feud type
game called Majority Rules. You don’t have to be right just align with the
answer that most people said.
We
should arrive in Auckland in the evening tomorrow. The Captain has gone way
south of where we should be to avoid the worst of the storm and get into the
protected area to head back up to Auckland.
