We had a great time at the cocktail party last evening. The Captain, Hotel Director, Cruise Director, Assistant Cruise Director, Human Resources Manager and Staff Captain all joined in at one time or another. As Karen mentioned the Captain is from Norway and quite personable. Englebert is the general manager and I always enjoy sailing with him. He is always scurring about making sure that things are in order. Lorraine is always a delight as cruise director and Louise her assistant is equally delightful. The food has been good, but the company even better. Today was a Tex Mex buffet up at the pool deck which was quite good.The seas have been a bit rough and quite windy but hopefully it will be as sunny when we arrive in Aruba in the morning. I took my youngest son to ballroom dancing lessons today which was quite a challenge with the ship rocking but he really enjoyed it. Had chocoholic tea with Larry today as Betty was catching up with LCT and emails.
