Card check Posted April 4, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted April 4, 2012 MV SEABOURN QUEST OK guys, I'll never measure up to Seabourn Traveller (which I know I spelled incorrectly) but I'll develop my own style eventually! April 03rd 2012: 0800hrs Arrival in Muscat Oman A short Hi from Richard and Susie Q from Bris-vegas! (Downunder) It is delightful to have met Janey and Phyllis on the first day of the cruise in Dubai! The weather is extremely hot! Over 90 degrees! We left for a tour to a local Mosque at 0815hrs by minibus; very comfortable with great air-conditioning; we had an excellent guide and learned a lot about the country. This Mosque was the largest one in Oman; one of 14,000 existing Mosques! The Mosque can accommodate 20,000 worshippers in the courtyard and 6,000 men are able to pray together; there is only room for 750 women to pray. The men's dress code does not apply; however; women must dress according to their custom; men and women are not encouraged to pray together as the men may be distracted by their women! Mum and I were required to wear scarves that we brought along and we got in without a hitch. After the Mosque the tour went to the Souk where I fed all the stray cats. We then spent an hour shopping and haggled and we got some great deals and then back to the ship for the drink of the day which was an ice cold beer! Off in a hurry to the Shangri La Hotel with almost the entire ships passengers for the complimentary excursion. It was really quite hot so we only stayed for 15 minutes; so we had to find our own way back. We came back to enjoy chatting with friends and free time. Now..here is tonight's menu.. First Course: Gingered shrimp roll Seared Veal Carpaccio Yellow Fin Tuna Wellington with Porcini Mushrooms Wild Mushroom Minestrone Cream-less Celery Root soup Tossed Tomato and Grilled Bread Three Pea Salad Main Course: Pan Seared Halibut Crisp Soft Shell Crab Duo of aged Sirloin and Braised Short Rib of Beef Oven Roasted Double Cut Pork Chop Vegetarian - Soft Potato Gnocchi Signing off for now Janey and Susie Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Card check Posted April 4, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We were so excited about having the Owner's Suite, but we didn't like it nearly as much as on the Legend. So after much discussion with the Hotel Manager, we got our choice of Penthouse Suites, which we found we really liked. We picked 922, as it is the closet Suite to the upstairs sky bar. Have only had a single Bloody Mary and were wishing Kit, Dan, Phil and Miss Martha were with us!!! Dr. Janey signing off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card check Posted April 4, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Now that we've got the hang of this we thought we should include the enrichment lecture at 1845hrs: it's about "politics and Society on the Arabian Peninsula" by Dr Glenn E Robinson who is an expert on Middle East affairs. The 2200hrs Show time tonight is Dance in the Grand Salon on Deck 6. Bye again see you tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card check Posted April 5, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The layout was not comfortable- mom didn't like having tom close bar door to open refrigerator. Also coffee table and sofa not comfortable. I guess the 700 suites are better. yes we did get big refund, so booked all the great extravagant excursions. Kit, we've been skyping, but you need to add me, because I cant add you from ship. Told the captain hi from Dan and Kit- he smiled with a twinkle. Also, 4 armed guards (we call them the Rambo Squad) boarded in Oman to patrol for pirates. Will say hi to Francesca for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofoo Posted April 5, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 5, 2012 An Ode to My 'Merican Ma and Grandma. Did you at the casino play? Pay pay pay! Did you say? Rained last night gray, The sprinklers didn't spray and I did all the chores today then by the pool I lay watched the clouds float away. wrote about how left Africa they by the Arabian peninsula that way Mesopotamia through the Golbi desert astray to Korea before the Silky way. Well, anyway, I hope the two of you have a nice day keeping the pirates away with your hair spray oh and please pass the buffet it's probably wise to opt for the filet Ok, I gotta go back to my essay. No, really, I gotta stop this word play Stop anyday but better now today oh by the way I'm going to meet Amanda's parents this Friday What should I say? "Hi, I like your daughter all the way?" The house will be okay. Allan or Bill will come to save the day Or at least feed Dottie once a day. seriously i gotta stop this syntactic array. stop stop stop...... Have fun today! From six thousands miles away, Your faithful son, keeping the burglar's away. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
