Karen, when you read Fred on the subject of air conditioning keep in mind that any temperature above 67 is "hot" to him. We wage battles of the thermostat at home!

We vowed not to complain of heat when we booked this cruise and I think we've done a pretty good job describing the heat rather than complaining about it. We are the last cruise ship of the season in all the ports we have visited and I think it may have something to do with heat. I hate heat too, just define it a bit differently than Fred. And this ship has held up to the heat really well.

We are in Acopulco today and they are planning a lavish party on the pool deck before we depart at 11:00 pm. You should see the pool deck. Marvelous! They bring on local dancers for a show at 9:00. It all should be really grand if it cools down a bit. I was out when we sailed into port this morning and it was quite comfortable so I have high hopes for later tonight.

Yes, Eugene, I think the Barbara performer was on Camel. Hadn't realized it until you mentioned it.
