Day 3 - At Sea

Another glorious day at sea and it's very calm.  I didn't take that picture.  I should have taken a photo but I was too busy enjoying myself in the daylight.  We had blue sky in the morning, but it's clouded over.  This ship has an outside and a covered pool.  If it's warm and sunny, they open the roof.  It's a great feature and not available on every ship.

We turned out clocks back last night so we got another hour of sleep.  We went to the enrichment talk on Kauai.  It was very informative.  It's not a big island but a beautiful one.  We've been there before but looking forward to seeing how it's changed.

After a lovely lunch in the dining room, we went to Progressive Trivia.  We are playing with a lovely couple from Edmonton.  We are there for fun and it's a good thing.  Today they released the results and we are last!  😄

It is Formal Night!  We got all dressed up and saw a beautiful family with a service dog.  The lady and teenage daughter were in cobalt blue gowns, the man had a cobalt blue shirt and gorgeous suit on and the dog had a collar with a flower made out of material with a sparkly jewel in the center.  They looked fabulous!  I thought after I should have taken their picture.

At dinner, I love to see what people are wearing.  I've seen it all on formal night, but this one was the best!


There is an empty chair at the table and a fellow came in a little later and had a baseball hat on backwards!  I wouldn't take another picture as I wouldn't want to show his face.  I don't care what people wear on formal nights but it amazes me how people don't follow the guidelines.  In years past they would not let you into the dining room if you weren't dressed properly.  They would direct you to the buffet.  Times they are a changing!

After dinner to the Princess Theatre where we saw a performance called "Encore".  It was all vocal and the voices and songs were amazing.  They received a well deserved standing ovation.

We shut down Crooners Bar again.  Such a wonderful pianist!  Another great day at sea.




Immigration Canada and the Criminal Code of Canada

I often wonder about our Immigration system and the Criminal Code of Canada.  Criminals keep finding ways to circumvent the system.  I heard...
