So, apparently Regent has made a deal with their Sat provider to show various NFL games on one of the ship's TV channels. Not exactly sure how the games are selected, but we seem to get one early game (1 p.m. Eastern), one late game (4 p.m. Eastern) and then Sunday and Monday night games. Of course, trying to keep up with what time that is wherever we happen to be, especially when we are moving the clocks back almost every night makes it a bit hard. Anyway, it's a great benefit if you are a fan and can keep odd hours. Of course, if a ship is somewhere around North or South America, it's a bit easier to figure out the time!! So, as the Broncos move ahead, my Bears, well....maybe we can all begin to appreciate Jay Cutler a bit more now. As for the cruise, also attended the wine pairing today and agree quite enjoyable and very professional presentation. Came in second again in trivia - well, at least it's a consistent pattern. Putted quite poorly in the putting contest - of course it didn't help that the winds were coming off the port side, the golf course is on port - also using a lefty putter as all righties were taken, so I guess shooting par wasn't all that bad (but no holes in one, alas!). Dinner in Compass Rose has been quite good and bar service has improved. I'm told that my blue cheese stuffed olives can now be found in all the bars, so they no longer have to run over to Horizon to get them for me (and anyone else who requests them now). I did Karaoke a few nights ago and have to admit I was supposed to do it again tonight, but, alas, as Jim says the ship's motion, plenty of alcohol, and the fact that we are gaining an hour every day (so I seem to wake up earlier and earlier...) made it impossible for me to stay up for it tonight. They have started the dinner and a show at Signatures, and have reservations on Wednesday, so will post after that to report on how it went. Our second Prime 7 dinner is tomorrow night. Wonder how many LCTers took advantage of the double credit night promotion on "Black" Friday. We did - booking the escorted SF - Vancouver via Alaska cruise in 2013. That will put us over into Gold. The other nice thing for us is that it is a west coast cruise for a change. We do have some issues with the enrichment lectures being offered on the cruise, both boring and British-centric (not that I mind that too much, being an English major in college - but really "Hanky Panky in the English Country House" = GET REAL!! Anyway, our lovely balcony calls and I shall now go to enjoy it. Later, Jeff
