Day 35 At Sea

Today was an extremely busy day…..  The morning started out with a walk with Ed & Becky around the upper deck.  Then it was poolside for the better part of the day.  Late in the afternoon I took a walk around deck 3 for a few miles before getting ready for the evening festivities.  Tonight was our first formal night for the Grand World Voyage.  It was a grand evening….  There was a cocktail party in the Queen’s lounge with introduction of the staff by Captain Mercer and a toast.  It was a very nice event.  Then it was off to a fabulous dinner.  First of all, we had Renee, the Spa Manager as a hostess for our table.  The food was great, complimented by fabulous conversation and laughter with friends….  Having Renee at the table was such a bonus!  Then it was off to the show.  The performer was Melissa Manchester and she was amazing….  She sang some of her big hits from the past along with a number of new selections.  She put on a great show!  Tomorrow we arrive in our first port of call, Dominica…

  6. Jeff;,
    A hearty hello to Ed and Becky through your blog. They regaled a group of us with great stories of previos cruises at dinner shortly before your departure. Looks like you're off to a marvelous start.
