Day 2 At Sea



Heading towards Honolulu at 25 knots. A few waves 4-7 ft. More of a regular roll. This morning attended a lecture on Sir Arthur Conon Doyle. Lunch in the Kings Court. We had tickets for a show in the planetarium but ran out of time to go?
There were so many activities all over the ship. Here are a few;
Tour of the ship
Bridge
Bingo
Art Instruction
Golf
Fitness Center
Canyon Spa Treatments
Table Tennis
Quiz contest in the pub
Gambling
Cha Cha dance Class
Planetarium presentation
Deck Quoits
Team Trivia
All of this before 5:00 pm.
Tonight was the first formal night. There were more tuxedos than I have seen on any other ship. It looked to me that 90% of the passengers were “Formal”
We ate tonight in one of the specialty restaurants, The Carvery. The service here was excellent as well as the food which was imaginative, very well presented and cooked.
Being British I do enjoy the items not usually available on other cruise ships:
Bangers, HP Sauce, Colemans mustard, trifle etc etc etc.
After diner off to the showroom for an excellent pianist comedian. Jon Courtnay.
By this time us old folks are just about done. There was a Black & White Ball in the Queens Room. This took place with the full orchestra and included a special performance by a processional dancing team.
Between 8:00 pm. And 4:00 am. There are seven location with live music around the ship.
