LOL. Yep, Don & I are in HS 992. We had been waitlisted for a higher deck for a HS since the balconies are larger. It came through about a week before we boarded. I spend hours on the balcony sunbathing, taking photos, reading, & terrific stargazing at night! Editing to add: Yes, Olivia, the sunsets are incredible from our position on the ship. Have taken tons of photos trying to capture it just right.

Last night was so great for seeing stars near the equator one last time. I ran up to the Observation Deck to meet the young officers who had announced that they would be there for stargazing. They took us outside. They were having such a hard time seeing any stars. I laughed & said, "Perhaps we need to turn off the ship's running lights so that we can see them!!" They scurried off & had them turned off. Viola! Immediately, we were bathed in clusters of beautiful southern hemisphere stars! It was truly spectacular. Don has the funniest photos of us (Donna, Kathy, Jan B. & me) with our heads & arms up looking & pointing towards the sky! (Looks like we're wildly dancing!)
...... It will be SO HARD to leave this lovely cruise. Tonight, we'll be cheering like crazy for Valerie! You go girl!!
