Cruise World Day #9-sea day--3rd day setting clock back--January 13
After a full night of sleep, I awoke at 6:30 AM and updated my blogs. Then, I had coffee and breakfast at my favorite aft pool-area table. I am delighted they brought pineapple on board from Costa Rica.
For the first time, I joined an arts and craft activity with the Polynesian ambassador team. We made necklaces with intricate shells that were especially picked for us. Each color represents a meaningful value. Yellow: land white: clouds green: sea. More than 40 man-hours, per necklace, were involved in picking, and drilling these delicate shells. They always wear a piece of the land. I really like mine.
The lecture on Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands was helpful. I look forward to strolling around the harbor in the laid back, low tech, culturally rich destination. I like the presenter’s (Barbara) conviction and passion for travel.
Tonight was the gala black and silver ball. The ship was beautifully decked out in those theme colors as were the guests. Dancing was a blast and a good time was had by all.
I enjoyed watching 92-year old Dolly dance with some of the officers. She held her own gracefully and wore a black evening gown and long black gloves. This is her 25th world cruise. She “lives on ships” 10 months out of the year.
That's all for today.
