Cruise World Day #10- another sea day en route to Marquesas Islands
We set our clocks back for the fourth day in a row. That makes it easy to wake up early.
My official morning routine:
· Rise between 6 and 7AM
· Coffee from café (Marie and Angelique know my order from memory) and meditation by aft sea-view pool
· Breakfast
· Qi Jong or Tai Chi
· Check out daily puzzle in library.
· Maybe walk promenade deck-4.5 rotations for a mile
· Lecture or class or presentation or reading by the pool etc.
· 11:45 AM trivia team

| Qi Jong Instructor |
My typical afternoon routine:
· Lunch: lido or main dining room
· Classes, lectures, presentations, reading, ballroom dance class etc.
· 5:00 trivia team
· 5:30 dinner
· Ballroom dancing
· Show in the big theatre: The Queen’s Lounge
· Ballroom dancing
· Maybe a Movie
· Tea before bed
· Review the next day’s schedule and set wake-up call (if any) accordingly.
Today, I participated in the hula dance class. I am convinced this style of dance, like flamenco, is learned at an early age after being immersed in the culture. We all looked quite ridiculous!! There were the requisite 5 men and 4 trillion women in the class!
I listened to part of a lecture series on the history and culture of Judaism conducted by the onboard Rabbi. I found his remarks thought-provoking.
The Fox trot dance class was packed.
Tonight's performance was illusionist/mentalist couple The Evasons. Although their performance was entertaining and well executed, I later discovered their deceptive technique and was highly disappointed. Unlike all the other acts, they only performed one show, so it must be difficult to perpetrate “back-to-back deceptive” acts.
After listening to the jazz jam session, I watched most of a movie, Man, Woman, and Children. I enjoyed this commentary on relationship dynamics (parent-child, teen-teen, husband wife) and the role of technology in our daily lives. I am surprised it did not gain more traction at home.
I retired thinking about what would unfold the next sea day.
