Good Morning and Merry Christmas from the Legend.

As the sunshine floods our suite this morning we feel so lucky to be celebrating Christmas at sea.

Last night was lovely. First everyone met in the Club to sing Christmas Carols….it was a standing-room-only event. While the dress suggestion was Elegant Casual many were in their Christmas finest. All of the cruise staff and talent joined together to lead us in song.

The dining room menu featured many holiday favorites but we decided to dine at “2” again. While the menu is limited we really love the quiet ambiance of this restaurant and the staff couldn’t be more attentive. We enjoyed roast duck as our entree and spiced pumpkin crème brulee for dessert.

After dinner showtime was entitled “It’s the Most Wonderful Time!” with more holiday songs; and at 11:30 Christmas Eve Services and Midnight Mass.

When we returned to our suite we found a plate of cookies, fruit and chocolates. Of course we had to taste a few just to show our appreciation ☺

It was a wonderful way to start the holiday!

Today is likely to be more of the same. Santa is having breakfast with all of us in The Veranda Café – I need to note that there isn’t a child under 21 anywhere in sight but you can bet the “kid” in all of us will stop by to say hello to Santa.

The rest of the day will follow a normal sea day routine with lectures, bridge, yoga, putting, tea etc. Tonight it’s formal attire for dinner after Christmas Cocktails with our Captain Tom Thomasssen.

There’s lots of talent on the program too with Frank Freeman doing vocals at 7 PM and Shirley Dominguez performing “When the Harp Goes Latin” at 10 PM.

Looks to be a very busy day ahead.

Best wishes to all of you. Enjoy your family and feasts,
