Sea Day – February 20

Sea Day – February 20

We had a Cruise Critic Meet & Greet this morning. Unfortunately, it was moved from the Steakhouse to Sabatini’s and the room was oddly shaped in that it makes an L and we couldn’t see each other. So, when people talked you didn’t know who they were. Awkward! 

Since Charles was the one organizing these things and he left the ship when his wife passed, someone else that was filling in for the person who was going to take them over for him, but was off the ship visiting friends another person that didn’t even know what Cruise Critic was tried to conduct the meeting.

It truly was a train wreck. (Steve & Karen you could have turned this around with ease) Anyway, I did meet a couple of the people I was looking to meet before we have tours together and met a lady named Bonnie that our Friends Bob & Pat live in the same community and said we should try to meet on the ship. As luck would have it, they were seated at the table next to us at the meet & greet. We also sat with one of the couples we are touring together with, so that worked out well. There are only 2 couples that we have not met yet, so that will be when we meet that morning, I guess. We also met the couple that recommended the safari company and lodging that I chose to do for our overland from Durban to Cape Town.

At lunch we sat with mostly people we already knew and one new couple. 

They moved Bingo to be in the afternoon in the Pacific Lounge so we went up there. Greg won $50. (my losing streak continues)

After catching up with Roy & Rondi at dinner, we went to listen to George Casey an Irish comedian. We hadn’t had a good comedian yet and we didn’t have high hopes. He was actually very funny.

The trivia was “before they were famous” where they show photos of stars when they were young, and you had to guess who they were. We sucked.
