January 30 - Cruising the Pacific Ocean

Another easy going day at sea.  Lectures included one on Fiji, our next port of all, and one on ocean life and one on cyberspace and its role in crime, war and terror organizations. 

In the afternoon they had a tour of the galley so Mary headed off to see the acres of stainless steel and the operation.

There was a big display screen that gave estimates of the number of each dish expected to be served.  This helped with their planning, tracking and preparations.

The evening’s entertainment was a short “musical” entitled, “A Love Story”.  It takes place in the 6/8 Café and featured the ship’s company of entertainers and a number of 60’s and 70’s song.  Since it was only a half an hour long most of the crowd then adjourned to the Stardust Club for a show by musical humorist Bayne Bacon.  We had seen him before and he is very enjoyable.  He plays both the piano and guitar and tells some pretty funny jokes.
