11/24 to 11/25–Sea Days

The first sea day keeps us busy going from the history/cultural lecturer (we have once again lucked out, Sandy Cares, the lecturer is fabulous with her teaching background, she makes every presentation very interesting and full of fascinating facts), the chef cooking demonstration, the afternoon movie (The Hustle – stupid, but we sat through the whole thing) then back to Sandy’s lecture. Sort of fills up the day.

The show is the production cast, who are great, and the cruise director is originally from Asheville!  We will eventually corner him to talk about our hometown, but in the meantime, he’s fun to watch and listen to his jokes and entertaining information.

We have 2 comedians onboard – one an Irish comedian who is quite funny and the other an American who does comedy and magic, also funny, but not as much as the Irishman.  I’m going to jump ahead here, because they both put on 2 shows each over then next 4 days, and while we enjoy both, man, this is a tough crowd. At 2 of the shows, we were the only ones laughing.  We think a lot of the jokes just went right over peoples’ heads.  It was a little brutal there in those shows.

Aside from that, we do our norm – gym, lectures, lunch, lectures, gym, dinner, show.  I’m not going to bore you with everything – suffice it to say – this is just the sea day placeholder!
