WORLD CRUISE 2024

[crusin7]

Warren I’m sorry to hear you are sick.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we all stay healthy.  
Goodbye to SF

 

We got some beautiful flowers yesterday.

The Captain came on at 1715 to say the “seas are unfavorable“ and we would be leaving early.  John the CD did the required emergency information.  Then we lost power on the ship.  It was only out for a few minutes.  The internet was out for about one hour.  We did not leave until our scheduled 1900.  
The seas are rough and rolling.  It’s about 59°. Looking forward to land in 4 days.

i will be following your posts and pics

We had a busy day.  To keep our mind off of the rolling of the ship we played Bingo.  Yay I finally won….twice!  I split the pot both times.  Once with Cathy and on the last game. 
We went to a Lei making class led by Haulani and Walanu.  We loved it and will wear them tonight.

We went to tea for the first time.  
The Famous Kerrrrrrti!

Did the luggage ever arrive?  Or, is it still in limbo?

The luggage finally arrived in San Diego.  Exactly one month from the day they picked it up in Santa Barbara.

Today we went to a Cooking Demonstration with Guest Chef Paulette Mitchell.  She told us all about herbs.  She is very likable.  I enjoyed her teaching methods.  She prepared Basil Pesto Chicken Salad, Tabouli, Tapenade and Herb Roasted Vegetables.

 

 

 

 

All the dishes were available in La Veranda for lunch.  Delicious!

Toilets are not flushing in our room.  We are on 9th floor.  Off and on since this AM. Now OFF. 

We had one day off and on toilets and another day just one time in the first segment.

Dennis is one of the very best people on the Mariner in Compass Rose. We had three generations on an Alaskan cruise in 2019 and always went to CR because of Dennis. He was so much fun with our grandchildren!

 

I am grateful to see a picture of him as I hoped he’d be back.

Yesterday the ship was still bouncing around.  We went to the Chef’s Cooking Demonstration in the Horizon Lounge.  It was much too small a venue.  She spoke about Spices.

We had another Wine Luncheon with Arthur.  The first had 26 guests. This was about 40.

Yes, weather permitting

We went to the sparsely attended Speakers Series on Traditional Hawaii and Hula.  It coincided with the Football playoffs.  There was very little Hula. What we did get was enjoyable.
