Seven Days at Sea

Here are some pictures from our seven days at sea.  You will notice that most of them were taken at dinner with various dinner partners.  I got the names and contact information on some of them and then promptly lost it.  Oh well, we enjoyed their company anyway.

This is  the waiter that served us the majority of the time.  Since we were on “Any Time” dining we sat at several different tables with different groups of people.

  

Janet and Marjorie from England were typically at the same table.

Here are some more towel animals.  First a turtle

  

and then a swan.

    

We did sit out by the pool one day with Forest and Kim from San Antonio.  They were always with us  at the blackjack tables in the evenings.

 

This couple only joined us one evening.

 

Bernie and his wife sat with us several different evenings.

 

Here we are again

 

Here is our Cruise director announcing the evenings entertainment.

The entertainment that night was a concert violinist who had performed for us another night.  He was excellent.

 

Another towel creature.  This time it was a stingray.

   

I think this was the woman whose name was Nell and her husband.  My memory is so short.  They ate with us a few times too.

 

We had a production show this night.  It was the music of the 60’s and 70’s.

 

This was the metal sculpture in the atrium.

They had put together a choir from people on the cruise.  They serenaded us one afternoon.  They were pretty good for the short time they had to prepare.

    

This couple also ate with us several times.  They were former New Yorkers now from Florida.

  

The wait staff also serenaded us one evening.

  

And there was a parade of nations with the flags of the different nations that the crew represented.

 

Towards the end all of the crew were represented in the theatre.

   

Our towel that night was a frog.

  

Along about Wednesday my throat started getting sore.  I attributed it to the dry air on the ship.  By Thursday it was even sorer and by the time we got on the airplane in Fort Lauderdale on Friday  it was very sore. 

I spent a miserable night in Austin at Nola’s and then we took Trouble and headed back to Aransas Pass.  I continued to get sicker until I went to the doctor on Monday.  I spent the next week and a half getting well.  My excuse for not posting these sooner. :-)
