singer – Tamika captain’s gala
Oct 1, 2010
Today we slept in until 7, since we set the clock ahead last night. The weather has improved as we can see the bright blue sea meet the blue sky-yippee. After breakfast Ruth went to an interview with the head of the culinary dept. who told us all about the amount of food, training, sanitary precautions etc. Very interesting. Joan went to a demonstration on garnishing. Next we listened to a talk about the shore excursions coming up. After that we had a meet and greet in the Crows Nest bar (free champagne) with a group I connected with on the internet to try to get groups who want to join up for shore excursions on our own. We met a few folks who may be good companions. Whew, now it is time for lunch with the singles and solos – we had a table of 7 ladies and one man. It was very pleasant and the wine was free. Joan found the sun and settled by the pool, and had a little nap. Ruth popped on the end of a demonstration on cheese fondue, listened to the band for awhile but it was too hot in the sun. I listened to a talk on the history of the Baja, but it was a little boring. I changed for dinner (formal night) and went to another computer class, then to happy hour – stopping off at the perfume testers for a new scent. It has become a daily habit. Lemon drops martinis today. Joan has come in from the sun and meets me there. We go to dinner a little earlier and get a big table for 8 with a couple from Oklahoma, one from Oregon and 2 ladies from Kansas, who were also at the singles luncheon. Very good conversation. Stopped at the photographers and had my picture taken with a necklace of black and chocolate diamonds worth $2600.00. The closest I’ll ever get to diamonds!!!! I could go on a good cruise for that! On the the Captain’s welcome toast – more free wine. Following that was the show which was Broadway tunes performed by the ship’s entertainers (pic above) wearing gowns designed especially for the show by Bob Mackie – a fantastic show. Off to bed now.
