Tonight was a fantastic Arabian Party on the deck with phenomenal decorations and even a camel, posing for pictures with everyone. Costumes were amazing-everyone seemed to fo "all out for the evening. We had a perfect table up outside the skybar, overlooking all the festivities. A record number of photos wer taken tonight.

 

We had dinner in the restaurant with Max and Jean & Suzie and Richard. We opted for the prime rim (which was outstanding)O and the pan fried Snapper.

Obsolutely delicious!!!

What a shame you Guests couldn't ride the camels around the Deck!

One of my favorite memories ~riding a sweet, spitting camel on the Island of Lanzarote.:p A group of us sorta dressed up and took the

Camel ridin' tour! What fun and frolic! Then we were treated way up on the mountain to cocktails and a small meal that had been cooked over the volcano ~still very active! The meat tidbits were delicious! Chef was cooking sweet potatoes on the grill, over the hot, steaming volcano :eek:

Thank you so much for sharing all your fun and exciting experiences with us........I know your Mother is enjoying every minute! Hug her for me. I think of both of you daily.

 

Keep on having fun.....and keep the Quest lights on for us!
