We had a few days where our heads almost blew off. Yesterday, because of the ship’s speed, we were able to sit out most of the day. The Panama Canal was spectacular! Alaska is also stunning from front balcony.

We spent hours on our balcony watching the birds. They are a Hoot! Sunset We went to Compass Rose for dinner. Escargot Fred Flintstone size portion of Chicken Parmigiana. I ate it all! Delicious.

Hi Warren. I’m Crisy. If you see me I will be happy to give you any pics you want. I have them on my iPad. Easier to view. Just let me know. The sunset last night was beautiful but not like Friday. we had dinner in Compass Rose Steak Tartare Fennel Salad Lobster Tail Everything was delicious! Surprise when we got back to our room

Good Night Puntarenas!

Relaxing in Puntarenas. We walked to town and browsed the street vendors. It is HOT!

The Escorts say Good Night.

When we boarded the ship this was in our suite.

Jim and I tried the Wine Lunch for the first time. It was excellent. Arthur was fantastic and a great comedian. Menu First Wine Soup Second Course Lobster Third Course Ravioli. THE BEST! Entree Beef Favorite Wine Dessert $169.00 per person. Worth every penny!

We seem to have added to the Escort Department

Good Morning Pacific Ocean! We have an Escort this AM.

Cheering crowds at the end of Miraflores.

Entering Pedro Miguel Lock

That’s very interesting. Do you have their new schedule? I bet we will also change plans. At least I’m hoping so. No sense in putting anyone in danger.

We entered the Gatun locks at 0810.

Good Morning Panama Canal!

Hello from Cartagena! Yes, John Ekin is still our CD. I don’t know who Jamie and Dana report to.

Jamie and Dana are the Hosts. Captain Palm disembarked and will return in 10 weeks. Yes, the seas were terrible today. Much calmer now. Compass Rose was half empty tonight. Jason said Sette Mari was full and room service was booming. Dinner was delicious. Chicken & Goose Liver Parfait Spinach Salad Mimosa Roasted Pork Tenderloin Someone turned on mood lighting!

No, unfortunately it’s blue. I appreciate you checking though. That would have been a miracle!

Look what came last night. Excuse the crooked pictures. I can’t stand up straight.

If it can move it is bolted down. Pool and deck 12 are closed.

No Good Morning picture. The seas are angry today. We have 45 mph winds and high swells. It started about 11:00 last night. I didn’t put on a patch and am suffering. When I got up at 0600 my beautiful flowers were rolling off the table. Sealegs are definitely needed today.

The Captain’s Reception was very crowded. We were jammed in the theater. People were standing. People were trying to squeeze into the middle of a row. People had drinks spilled on them…yes me. The Officers were introduced. One gentleman sang one song. One couple danced to their own choreography. They were great. We were finished at 6:25. We had dinner in Prime 7. It was excellent. Our waiter Youda was fantastic. Half order Lettuce Wedge Small Portion Prime Rib…Excellent I couldn’t wait and started to put horseradish on! Half order Popcorn Sundae…Superb

Cathy and I went to BINGO. We barely had enough players to qualify. Yipppeeeee Cathy won two times. The pot split once. Lunch at Pool Grill Fish Al Fresco Black Mussels It was good to meet @MarinerLad Turns out we sat near each other in Compass last night. Tonight is the Captain’s Welcome and Reception.

Good Morning! We are cruising the Florida Straits.
