4-28 Evening activities

Our days – and evenings – at sea have fallen into a comfortable routine.  We play trivia, read and write the blog or emails during the day.  Then in the evenings – it’s the gym – sometimes the early show if we remember to go (we’ll be better next cruise!) – at 7:30 – we go to the Bar at the Edge (aka the disco) for Power Hour.

Power Hour features one artist or group, and our DJ has developed bio’s on the featured artist.  He then asks trivia questions and gives away prizes – including free drinks!  Needless to say – we are enjoying these little evening diversions (much better than sitting listening to the big band music in the Rende-vouz lounge).

So, every night we’ve enjoyed the Beatles. Elton John, The Rat Pack, etc.  Then rode the elevator down to deck 5, walked the length of the ship and settle in our 2 top by the window. Tonight’s Power Hour was Glen Miller – not so much our style so we went back to the big band in the lounge before dinner. 

Had our drink, ate our peanuts, and waited for the dining room doors to open.  Once the hordes started moving, we fell in line with every one and headed to our table.  As we approached, we noticed different people sitting at the table in front of us – we couldn’t figure that out.  Why would someone switch dinner at this late stage.  As we were pulling out our chairs to sit, we also notice the assistant waiter was a girl.  Where was Marlon?  Our Assistant.  Before we could get into the bread, a waiter came up to us as it was dawning on us…..and said “Sir, Madam, I know you would enjoy my table, but I believe you are on the wrong deck!”

OMG!  Too funny.  We were so used to coming from the disco, we didn’t even stop to think we were on deck 4 listening to the band and not deck 5!  We had to walk upstairs, in hysterics, and sit at our own table on deck 5! 

So – that was our excitement for the evening!  We’re still laughing about it……..
