MEAT LOAF AND BAKED ALASKA

December 19, 2015

Yup.  That was the menu tonight.  Or at least among the offerings.  I chose the meat loaf.  She Who Must Be Obeyed had a Thanksgiving dinner – turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce and other stuff.  And she had deep dish apple pie.

Bonnie’s most remarkable thing about her lunch was the Ginger Ale.  She didn’t like the vegetable curry pot pie, nor the lemon meringue pie.  I don’t remember what I had, but I liked it.

We played a couple games of Rummy.  I won one and am trailing badly in the second, but there is always another cruise!

The old ship is rocking and rolling tonight.  The Captain said we would have 10 foot waves, but I think they may be a tad bit higher.

We packed our luggage after watching the movie, “The Martian.”  A very good movie.  We had to carry our three suitcases up to Deck 8, which is a passenger deck, to put them out with everyone else’s.  As we walked back to our room tonight we noticed that the hall was empty, so we should all be on our way to luggage control and customs in the morning.

The evening’s main entertainment was the ship’s version of The Voice.  I’ve never seen the real one, although I am told it is broadcast in 165 countries around the world.  A fellow my age sang an knock out rendition of “New York, New York,” and had our votes for the winner, but a cute, wiggly thing in a short skirt did either an Adele song or one by Celine Dion, and won.  We didn’t know either song, and it is only by chance I’ve heard of those two singers, but cute and wiggly wins over old and bald any day, I reckon.

Well this is the last entry from the Royal Princess for this outing.  Talk to you tomorrow from Florida.
