Day at Sea

July 11 – Day at Sea

Since the weather was so nice in Germany the day before, we were hoping for sun today.  No such luck.  It was cool and misty.  So much for sun and relaxing by the pool, so we explored more of the ship and stopped in at the casino and played more blackjack.   As we were wandering around the ship, we ran into Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  They were on vacation from the North Pole with 9 other Santa’s.  They told us that they were in Santa School while on the ship and after the cruise they will attend a Santa convention in Copenhagen.

Tonight is formal night with a Champagne fountain with over 750 glasses.  We had dinner with a US couple who live in Madrid, Spain.  He is an officer with NATO and was wearing his full dress uniform.  He got so many questions about where things were on the ship because people thought he was the captain of the ship.  We talked about what we missed the most from the US and she told me that she missed Slim Jim’s.  We just happened to have some with us so we shared and she told us that we are friends for life.  Later that night they were having a 50’s dance in one of the bars so we went and I even got Jay up to dance the twist, but he did have the “You’ve got to be kidding” look on his face.  Around 10:00 pm they delivered a small cake to our cabin for our anniversary celebration.  Too late to eat chocolate, so we saved it for another time.
