Tuesday January 27, 2015 At Sea

In the dark cabin it is hard not to sleep in.  We started our day as usual with coffee in our room.  We both ordered cereal and yogurt for breakfast.

 

At 1pm Gerri went to the art auction and I headed to the Princess Theater for the last Scholarship At Sea presentation by Dr. Sharon Faff. We met back at the room and got two of our bags packed and in the hall before Gerri’s appointment with one of the art staff team.  Yes, she placed bids on a couple pieces of artwork today. While we were there finalizing the sale we took an option on buying another piece of artwork.

 

Afterwards, we went and ate early tonight in the Capri Dining Room.  Tonight we sat with two couples, one from the Bay Area and the other from British Columbia. 

 

After dinner we went to the Princess Theater for another show by the magician, Ben Seidman.  It was a different show than the one I went to a couple of nights ago. Then it was back to the Explorer’s Lounge for a game called Where on the Ship.  We teamed up with two couples.  One couple from Pennsylvania that we had dinner with before and another couple they knew.  The hostess showed slides from around the ship and we had to name the place and location on the ship.  We scored 30 points out a possible 40, mostly due to the effort of the rest of the team.  The prize was a bottle of campaign and keychain flashlights.  We left the champagne for the other couples.

 

We decided to go back to the Princess Theater and wait until the 9:30 International Crew Show.  We were there very early and saw most of the magician show again.  It was a little varied from the earlier show, but not much.

 

The magic act was followed by The International Cruise show featuring talented members of the crew that have jobs other than entertainment.  As a warm up to the show the Cruise Director’s Staff passed out balloons which members of the audience blew up and bounced around the theater.  All the shows we have seen end with the Cruise Director’s Staff putting on a skit called; If I Were Not Upon on the Sea.  It was hilarious as usual.

 

 

 

Back in our room we finished packing.  We read for a while and called it a night.

 

Tomorrow we arrive back in San Francisco and the hectic disembarkation and trip home.
