Friday October 25, 2013, At Sea

Our sixth full day at sea.  It was cloudy today but the sea wasn't very rough.  I tried posting yesterdays blog but the internet service was down.  After our coffee we went to lunch in the Concerto dining room.

At the photo gallery we weeded through the photos and choose those we wanted to buy. At 3 PM we went to a get together of first responders for Police and Fire.  There were ten of us there.  Many of the others had been retired a lot longer than Gerri or me.  There were no firemen there.  Two of the policemen were from other counties, Canada and Germany. Two were retired from New York City and another from Suffolk County.  After introductions there was some general war story conversation.

Gerri went to the Piazza to see the passenger talent show before the session ended.  I joined her there later.  As usually with this large a group, there were a good number of very talented people.  After the talent show the passenger choir put on their show.  The choir was 70 people who had met and practiced 8 times.  They were very good.

We returned to the room and got ready for dinner.  Before dinner we met Lou and Mona, Del and Kay and Jayne in the Vista lounge for hors d'ouvres.  Following that we went to an art show at the art gallery.  Lou and Mona went with us to the Vista lounge and listened to a singer that did soul and blues songs. 

Dinner was at our regular time with all our table companions there.  After dinner Gerri and I went to the Princess Theater and saw a floor show by the ship's singers and dancers.

Tomorrow is our last full day at sea.  Today was another day of smooth sailing and we enjoyed the ship board activities.
