DAY 29 day 5 of 6 days at sea

Been busy so I am three days behind so I will now post all three days one after the other..... happy reading. :)

Another perfect day at sea, and the perfect place to celebrate my Birthday.  We started with breakfast in the Diamond breakfast room. Then it was off to Trivia, back up to 15 out of 20 today, we all wish we could just be a little bit better but we’re having fun and that’s all that counts.

Clocks advanced an hour at midday so before we new it the afternoon was gone. The Sportsbar has US$3.00 beers from midday until 4.00pm so we met there for the cocktail of the day at US$3.00 and a few beers before the Paradise Parade began along the Royal Promenade. The Parade was good and costumes were great but it could have lasted a bit longer with a little more dancing.

Our time schedule seems to always be busy and we had about 45 minutes to get showered and ready for the show at 7.00pm.  Tonight it was a Hypnotist, we’ve not seen one ‘live’ before. He had several ‘willing volunteers’ up on the stage….which didn’t include us. ;) The guy had these people believing they were Elvis Presley, Lap dancers, riding horses, seeing the audience as if they we were all in the nude, all of which was hilarious…..glad we didn’t volunteer. J

Portofino specialty restaurant was the choice tonight for my Birthday.  It’s the most amazing restaurant and the food is divine. The Captain was also dining there and he was happy to sign my Birthday card and have a chat and a joke with us.  He’s such a personable guy, hope the new Captain from Dubai has the same sense of humour?

We didn’t have time for any sports activities together today but Roy and Wayne had a game of Putt Putt where Roy wants to announce he had a hole in one… J Then they shot a few hoops on the basketball court…. Or should I say tried to shoot hoops and between the two of them they didn’t score even one hoop!!  We girls wish we had been there, we would have given them heaps about that.  If it’s not too hot tomorrow we’ll all have a go, and we’re sure the girls will be the boys easily.

Voyager of the Seas employs magic Elves….. we went to dinner and when we came home we had new carpet in our cabin…..just like that…. And everything that must have had to be moved was all back exactly as we had left it.

Tomorrow is our last day at sea before arriving in a very hot Dubai. They’re now predicting 45C….!!!
