I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is we have to move.  The good news is, the new stateroom is on this same floor and on the same hall way.  The bad news is my traveling companion was less than thrilled.  The good news is we are all packed and they will move our stuff in the morning.  The good news is we get to stay on for another two cruises!  Yeah!!

We went to the ice show today, “Spirits of the Seasons.”  What a fantastic show.  It’s the third time we’ve seen it.  If this keeps up we will catch up to our “Cats!” total of 14.  And we’ll see it twice more before we come home.  The ice rink is one-sixth the size of a normal rink and the skaters do all the tricks – doubles, triples, and other incomparable stuff – that is done on Olympic ice.  The costumes are fall, winter, spring and summer, with music and choreography to match.  In the winter scene, they play an appropriate sleigh ride song, and get two kids out of the audience to ride in the sleighs.  The photos may be a touch blurry, but you’ll get an idea of the performance.

My last talk for this cruise, “Flight 19 and the Legend of the Bermuda Triangle” was once again in the Schooner Bar, and again to a full house.  Even the bartender was watching.  I am told that a new corporate Vice President is taking talks off of 5 day cruises.  If the sizes of my audiences are any indication, the folks enjoy having that option.  But he didn’t ask me.  Oh well.

The final show and the final meal for this cruise are coming up soon.  I had lobster at supper last night and Bonnie had prime rib.  Oh what do the simple folk do?  (Name the musical for bonus points).

Tomorrow we are going to try to breakfast in the dining room, and then we will go off ship for a few minutes, go through customs and come back on board.  I don’t know if I will post a blog tomorrow or not, but check back.

TTFN!
