Good Morning! Tom and I slept in till 9am which is unheard of us for us!! Our bedroom is so dark with curtains closed it's like being in a little cocoon! Jeeves the butler brought us coffee and juice, it's more than OK to skip a meal! Today is our 2nd Wednesday this week....strange1

Yesterday we had Texas Hold'em tournament in the casino. It was a full table and I was happy to come in the $$ with a 3rd place. Ralph won 1st place so we're thrilled for him. Today we've recruited lots of players and will play upstairs in LaVeranda just amongst ourselves.

Last night we went to the show in Constellation Theater...called Ballroom Bravo. It was EXCELLENT with the PG cast plus 2 professional dancers from Russia. It really ranks as one of the best shows we've ever seen including the many we've seen on the WC's ! Don't miss it! This afternoon they're having auditions for the "Dance With The Mariner Stars" competition. I think I've talked Tom into trying out! (I told him 1st prize was a free WC but don't think I made it very believable LOL). Try outs are at 3 so it may depend on how our 2:00 poker game is going. I think we need a representative from LCT so hope he'll go for it...not sure if any other LCTers are trying out or not. After the show last night we went to STARS where they had jazz music going. We were the only ones from our group there....now I know that everyone was upstairs in Observation Lounge. Ken and Ngaire came down stairs to STARS around midnight or so (??) and we 4 called it a night.

Tomorrow night is the B&K party in Ngaire and Ken's suite and then dinner with staff members. Tom and I are eating with Capt. Romeo and Karen & Mark are also at our table....not sure if there's other LCTers there or not? We're also looking forward to a "reunion" dinner with Louise (social hostess) and Franck (who's name tag mistakenly says Frank....F & B mgr) in a couple of nights. We adore them both and it's been way too long since we were with them so it will be fun catching up.

Oh, forgot to mention that our trivia team won yesterday. I was happy to be able to contribute (a rarity) by knowing the state animal of Texas...the armadillo! No luck at Bingo though!

I tried to download some pictures off my camera from Auckland (Sheeptworld and the winery) but kept getting timed out. I'll try again later.

Sounding like a broken record but this really is a FABULOUS cruise! :lct:
