Happy Halloween America! …and Mexico.

Tuesday was our first full day at sea. I was beginning to get used to the swaying of the ship and the seasickness feeling was long gone. There were things to do and events to participate in all day. The casino was buzzing with people, there was live music and dancing on Lido deck, the art gallery was open and whatever was being served at the grill smelled delicious. In spite of all these great activities I chose to lay out in the sun. This is my view while sunbathing on the top deck…no land in sight. Does it get any better than this??



Since it was Halloween the dining room was casual attire. For dinner I had stuffed mushrooms, Caesar salad, grilled Salmon and some black forest cake thing for dessert. I could really get used to eating
this way! Once all the food was served the Maitre D’ grabbed the microphone, “It’s Ssssssshhhhowtime!” The music started, the lights flickered and all the dining room staff stopped working and started dancing. As you can see, Elaina got right up there and danced with our waiter Vladimir.

After dinner it was time to get ready for the Halloween party. We all dressed up as magnetic poetry. Now, that may sound like a dumb idea to you. But, let me assure you, our costumes were a hit. The words were velcro'd on to our shirts and people were coming up to us all night and moving the words around. We didn’t win best costume but there was some pretty tough competition. Later there was live music on the deck and we danced the night away under the stars. No Halloween is ever going to live up to this one.




p.s. We also discovered that you can’t do “I’m king of the world” like Leo DiCaprio on Titanic because that deck is for staff only. I was really disappointed as that was one picture I’d been planning to take ever since I booked the cruise months ago.

This is W A A A A A Y Y Y COOL! I KNEW I should have chaperoned!

I was most disappointed in the I'm the King of the world thing too. I've tried every cruise.

Road trip to Denver sounds good to me! Let's go when it is warm though!!!!
