Tonight is the Captain Circle Party and then the Crown Grill
for dinner. Our party starts at 7 pm in
Vista Lounge. They had two parties, and
the most travelled is a woman who has over 2,000 days. Wow.
We enjoyed the party, it was quick, we got a drink and they even had
little finger foods. Which we have not
seen for the last few parties we have attended.
The Captain was in attendance as well as many of the
officers, and he gladly posed for pictures too.
We sat near the back and we were surprised at how a few people just
walked right in without even acknowledging the Captain. But I am guessing they were not aware of who
he was.
We walk forward towards Crown Grill for our 7:30
reservation. We are sat at a lovely
booth where we can enjoy the action. Our
server Glenn from the Philippines introduces himself. Funny guy!
We are dining with Paul and Yvonne tonight and they received
a bottle of champagne from their Travel Agent so we enjoyed that and then had a
bottle of the Borolo from Italy to enjoy with dinner.
I started with the spinach/goat cheese/beet salad, then the
Black and Blue Onion Soup. For my entre
I had the fillet mignon served with garlic fries, asparagus and mushrooms. Everything was very very good. We did notice that the soup was a smaller
serving, still served in the same bowl but only came up to about the half way
mark on the bowl. Although I understand
the smaller serving and find the serving to be just right it does look
odd. They may want to buy smaller bowls.
In the end I couldn’t eat all of my steak, I wanted to save room
for dessert this time (as last time here we skipped dessert). I had the chocolate obsession and it was
perfect. Paul had the Norman Love
chocolate dessert which was a chocolate peanut butter bar and it looks
beautiful.
We can hear the music being played in the Atrium and the
balloons will be dropping soon. What is
so strange is all the tables and chairs are facing the center, but it is so
hard to even get to the dance floor in the center because of all the chairs and
tables filled with people. Bernie
giggles and says they look like zombies just staring at the dance floor with no
one on it (cause they can’t get past the zombies – or maybe the dancers are
afraid to walk past the zombies).
Anyways kidding aside the atmosphere is just not there so we move on.
I am too full to just sit down or go back to the cabin so we
go for a stroll. MUTS is showing the
football game – but we are not into football.
We walk around the deck past the front and the gym and the wind is
strong but we giggle as we try to make our way around.
When we come back to the cabin we are in hysterics…. When we walk in the door we see a roll of toilet paper that has been rolled out and leads to the closed bathroom door. When we open the door we see Woody wrapped in the toilet paper sitting on the toilet lid. Oh and there is Jasper with his head in the garbage can like he is throwing up. We can’t stop laughing. Grenny our Steward has been a delight.
Off to sleep, we have one more day at sea.
Things happening on board tonight: British Invasion Show in Princess Theater (oh
Bernie was chatting with a guy who was complaining about the music in the British
Invasion Show that he didn’t recognize any of the music. Bernie responded “really” the songs were all
huge hits and that he grew up with them.
The guy responds grumpily “well I don’t know any of them and they should
really play music for everyone”. Bernie
just couldn’t resist and says yeah you are too old for most of that music. Boy one thing that doesn’t change is people
like to complain. Usually the first
thing out of most people’s mouths when we chat with them is something
negative. When I respond that that is
too bad they aren’t enjoying themselves they respond “oh I am enjoying myself”. Life is short people! So many people are at home having to work and
would trade places in a heartbeat so embrace it all!
Back to what is happening on board tonight: MUTS The Fault In Our Stars, Wheelhouse is
playing Ad Libitum Trio (who just got on in Puerto Vallarta), Ballroom Dancing
