Rough Life

Our life at sea continues. The cruise director, Eric, makes a point to remind us each evening that--yes we had an exciting day today at (everyone together) sea! He goes down the list of upcoming events with scorn-- "we will be doing ice carving on deck at noon, and it will be completely melted by 1:15, so do not complain to me at 2:30 that you have missed it". I will get a photo of Eric because he is quite interesting. He is about 6'8" and wears quite flamboyant outfits, like the knee length black jacket with stand up collar that he had on the first night. We thought he could have been a contemporary of Snape, at Hogwarts!

Still managing to get in a few meals. Our favorite spot for breakfast or lunch is on the sun deck off the buffet.



Here is Sanjiv delivering the afternoon snacks and tea or coffee



We also ordered our first breakfast in the cabin today--delivered again by our man, Sanjiv!









And, last night we ate in the specialty steak house--here's the description of my appetizer--crab cake with lobster roulade, grilled scallops with fennel rub, and golden caviar on asparagus panne cotta! Fritz only had lobster with pears and arugula.

Today our favorite latte guy, I Made Adi (his name) was doing the bar demonstration so I got picked to have the finished Mojito---delicious!








The other night Fritz was picked to assist the magician--and, no we were not sitting in the front row. It was quite entertaining as the magician was doing an escape from handcuffs and asked Fritz to make sure that the equipment was real and then had him lock him up. He said "go ahead Fritz, just lock me up nice and tight with these handcuffs, just like you do at home" so Fritz says, "yes, OK, right"----much to the amusement of the crowd! (sorry no photo as we didn't know he was going to be making his stage debut).
