Sue; Don't be bashful about getting out on the dance floor. Just keep time with the drumbeat and have fun. That's the name of the game. The more you do it the more fun it gets to be.

Thanks Sue, for sending ...Thanks Karen, for posting that great photo!
Boy, don't they all look like winners!!!!!

Great picture of the winning Trivia team!!

Denise, so glad that the energizer bunny is enjoying her sea days!

Nancy

Thanks Sue and Karen - yes a winning picture!

Come on, someone.....explain the walking on water tour. PLEASE
Lynn

Love the reports and pictures. The Trivia team looks so dignified and knowledgeable. I want to see the dancing ones!

Dinner this evening in CR was great. Kathy and Frank were wonderful dinner partners and we had a lovely meal (wiener schnitzel).

After dinner we enjoyed a night of dancing in the "Voyeur" Lounge; JoAnn/Frank, Maria/Bob, Tom/I and then we were happy to see Priscilla/John come in later on. Oh we danced our hearts out! Maria would win a Twist dance contest hands down! We had so much fun singing and dancing! :banana:

By the way...Priscilla won the daily Voyager quiz! :app:

Maria can win any dance contest! I was with her on NINJA when she learned to do a Greek dance via the guitarist onboard (Frankie was is name!), and she brought the house down, with Linda from BK in tow! Wish I knew how to post it on this MacBook.

Have to agree with the above, we had a great eveing of dancing last night, which followed dinner in CR with Peggy and Jerry. Maria is a great dancer. The guitarist onboard is Frankie, wonder if he is the same one that taught Maria the greek dance, I will ask her. Lots of laughs, wine and dancing.

Lynn - the "walk on water" excursion was just something that popped out one day, I think on the Aigidir tour, we were joking about all the sea days and Denise was commenting on whether there was going to be enough to keep her busy, and I said something about what day was she organizing the "walk on water" excursion and from there it just took off. This morning was climbing the smoke stack, which Frank and I missed. I think tomorrow is walking the plank, and Denise has assured us that she is saving the best for last - that Sunday's excursion will be one to be remembered, but she's keeping it a surprize until then.

Weather is still great, although this morning I'm noticing a little more rocking, its still great. I think Frank and I are going to join Tom and Sue at dance class today - CHA CHA.

Far better to win Voyager Quiz than bingo, Priscilla :D

We bowed out of joining the others in the lounge last night, opting for some alone time.

There are some interesting lectures on-board today, which we hope to attend:

Groundfloor Investments - SoukMart-Coming to a Town Near You

Camel Drool Stain Removal Techniques

Life Jackets - Not Just For Daywear.
Meet at the Muster Station and learn how to accessorize life jackets for those special evenings. Black pearls, cultured pearls and diamond embossing demonstration to give your life jackets that personal touch.

Trivia Token Investment Opportunities

A very special excursion is planned for our day of disembarkation.

Hi,

Regarding the dancing, there are many "modest" dancers here. JoAnn and Frank and Sue and Tom to name a few. We all kept Voyager alive last night.

Olivia, you are too kind , but I still remember that greek dance too :) . I think Linda was leading as I had never done it before ( or since). That Frankie is our Frankie here as well. Frankie "Dahling" Holiday ( He calls everybody "Dahhhling"). Maybe I'll ask him for a repeat but I need somebody that knows the steps!

Cloudy today but it will not deter the fun.

Wonder if we have an excursion this afternoon? Maybe Dolphin encounters on portside?

Editing to add:

Priscilla, congrats on your win! I know how hard you worked on it! ;)

Denise, thanks for offering these lectures . They are the best kept secret around here, but we want to keep it that way, don't we?

That is so funny Denise I wish I could attend some of those lectures. You gave me a good chuckle this morning.

Yes our Maria is quite a twister and I also remember the Greek Dance. Tell Frankie "blondie" said hello --- he probably calls ALL the blonds "blondie" so he wont have any idea who you mean!!!

Surprise...we didn't make it to dance class today! :eek: We danced so much last night that I decided to do something different so we went to a Fab Abs class and boy was that a workout, but a lot of fun.

At lunch we had front row seats for the ice-carving demonstration which was fantastic...so much talent in these people!

This afternoon I hear my book calling me to read and nap a bit and then on to the spa for a "satin skin" treatment and after that trivia time and dinner with JoAnn & Frank.

The fun never stops - the service is truly impeccable in every area of the ship and the LCT company is priceless! :)

Sue, Denise, JoAnn and all.......keep having sooooo much fun!!! We all LOVE hearing from you!!!

Aaaahhhhh, sea days! I can't believe we ever wondered whether we would be a little bored. No chance! This crossing is absolutely wonderful. I haven't been this relaxed since I don't know when.

After our fun dinner last night in Compass Rose with Denise/Alan, Maria/Bob (with our favorite server team Denise mentioned -- Eric, Felix and Felino) John and I went up to the observation lounge to listen to a talented pianist/singer (I've forgotten her name) and then the guitarist Frankie Holiday. We had a good visit with Fred and Pat, then decided to see if any LCTers were lighting up the dance floor in the Voyager lounge. Sure enough, JoAnn & Frank (good dancers!), Sue and Tom (ditto!) and twist queen Maria with Bob -- need I say more? We had loads of fun. Then as we approached our cabin we saw a note on the door and yea! -- I had won a token for the daily quiz on my first day! This softened the blow from losing Bingo when I was oh-so-close -- ha!

Tonight Latitudes, which should be a nice change. We loved it last week. The menu has changed for this week, and I hope it's as good. Whatever, we will enjoy dinner, I'm sure. I'll report back, I'm sure!

Fun is definintley being had by all. The swells are much heavier today and while in dance class I had to leave to take a pill. After not much for lunch, I went up to lie down and Frank went to afternoon dance class alone. Now he is running and I am feeling myself again.

Another of Denises planned excursions is the "tour behind those CREW ONLY doors. Many of us are anxious to see where that leads. :D Yet to come today is of course trivia, then dinner in Lattitudes with Tom and Sue.

Priscilla, forgot to congratulate you on your win yesterday! The token count is going up. Frank got one in golf chipping this morning. Elda calls triva "World Token War."

More later. Guess you LAMBers are getting excited, your turn coming up.

JoAnn - hard to think about LAMB when I'm enjoying all the CROSSer's seamail. You all sound like a much more active group than we were on TAP.
Priscilla - Great Win! Congratulations. Only a token, no free cruise? :D
And Kathy sounds like she is cleaning out the casino.
Hope none of you forget to make an onboard next cruise booking. But I bet you won't.
And I loved the onesole shoes.
We still need lots more pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Betty, you're right, especially in the daytime! Lots of energizer bunnies aboard. Love hearing all the activities!

Thanks for recent seamail - doesn't sound like sea days have been a problem - just sounds like a great trip with such a fun group

Oh my what a lazy day, but a great one! I have taken 2 naps today and still feel sleepy! The waves are getting a bit larger, but it isn't real bad.

My satin skin treatment in the spa was wunnerful! :D

Thanks again ladies for your reports. Your cruise sounds divine!!

Sue, how wonderful that sounds.... a restful day at sea, a spa visit. Sure beats the heck out of my day. Starting to plan and shop for Thanksgiving and a group of 13, or 16, or maybe 18. I don't know!!

Anyway, I'd rather be on the Voyager with all of you!!!!! :)

Betty, I'm with you with about 20, but next year, SAMBA on the Navigator for Thanksgiving, I hope!

Hi all - well I am the only one that opted out of the show, its some jazz thing, which Frank loves and I don't, so everyone else went, we plan to meet up at Voyager Lounge later. Will be interesting to see who actually comes - but hey I will be there.

Yep, Kathy is the Casino queen, she always does well, and gets all the good stuff.

Anyway, fun dinner tonight with Tom and Sue in Lattitudes, and Denise,Alan, Bob, Maria, John Priscilla were only a table away.

Trivia today was a bit harder and someone actually had the nerve to sit at our usual table!! :p But we managed a pretty good showing, we were second I think, we had 12 and the winning team had 13 - so not bad, team is still doing well, at least I think so.

Seas are still a littly rocky, but weather is warm and sky is sunny. Took a couple of nice sunset pictures from our balcony.

Sorry we aren't putting more pictures up, but truly no one knows how to do it, and we really don't want to put that on Karen, although that is how we've done a few - so you will just have to live it in your minds from our descriptions.

JoAnn, I think you and Maria are the Queens of the Nightlife on this cruise! Sounds like everyone having a ball. Did you do the tour behind those CREW ONLY doors?

Thanks JoAnn for your post.

Good for you, Kathy! I love that she is winning in the casino. You guys are having so much fun!

Olivia, I would like to go with you next Thanksgiving...

Joann, thanks for the explanation of "walk on water. I agree with Betty and Olivia that your group is much more active in the daytime than we were on TAP. Wish I were there.
Lynn

Good morning all. Well the tour behind "CREW only" doors was very exciting and took us to many secret places - however we have been sworn to secrecy and are not allowed to reveal any details. I will say though, that there are lots of CREW behind those doors. :D :D

Frank, Maria and I were the only ones in the lounge last night, and even Maria finally left - there were other passengers though, there is quite a lively group that goes there everynight - and finally Frank and I decided to just go and have a glass of wine on our balcony.

Still rocking this morning, but its sunny and beautiful out, and it doesn't seem as much. Lots of things on the agenda today and tonight is SSS night. The days are winding down, slowly but surely - hard to believe a week from today is Thanksgiving!!

Hi,

Once again I missed the special tour set up by Denise. Starting time is too early for me!

I had to crash "early" last night but we gained an hour again so I feel pretty rested and ready for the line dancing class. I hope to see Sue/Tom and/or Frank/JoAnn there!

Denise -

There's the ever-popular late night watching the submarine races with your sweetie event. It's a sellout every time. Up periscope ...

Continue to have a great time .. we sure are reading your posts!

Cheers, Anne

The Cordon Bleu class did have a tour of the Crew Only area of the ship along wit hthe Galley Tour. We had the Cordon Bleu dinner last night for our LCT Cordon Bleu Chefs and Peggy and Gerry, Jan and Fred, Frank and I had a good few laughs with the Corporate Chef, Ronald. What a character he is! Dinner was fantastic. Then after cleaning up at the casino in Round One, we went up to have drinks with Fred and Pat and Peggy and Gerry and then we joined by Frankie Holliday. Frankie is trying to convince my Frank to change his hairstyle to match Frankie's. Additional Bowling Ball Polishing required. My Frank will now be hiding from the Norelco Shaver.

Then I went back to the Casino and quadripled my winnings. We have a great Casino table group and are having a lot of fun at the table playing team blackjack. Ummm...diamond special in the boutque today...or maybe I ought to consider an onboard booking.

There is so much to do today. The Gold Event is at 11:45. We are all supposed to meet in the atrium and then I think we will be having cocktails somewhere - I think on the bow of the ship as we did with hot cocoa on MUSH. Frank is at Bridge Lessons and I am here in the computer room with a few of our LCT'ers. The Cordon Bleu Chef is doing a demo today, there is a Slot Tourement in half an hour, a Diamond Talk by the boutique, a lecture on the state of Politics for the 2008 elections, music and the Olympic Eating Team demonstration in La Verandah at 12 noon.

Dinner in Signatures is on schedule for tonight with Joann and Frank.

Frank asked me if I was ready to come home. Ha ha ha. Maybe there is a cabin I can stow away in when we get back to FLL...

Hi all! Another glorious day. The sea is calm --the ship is rocking less than yesterday -- and the sky is sunny. No problem with sea days at all, Betty. Any little worry/wondering about that definitely was off base. I haven't been so relaxed in forever. I would say this cruise has exceeded expectations.

Last night Frank and JoAnn and Maria had to hold down the fort as far as late-night activities. Something at our Latitudes dinner had me knocked out tired -- I suspect it was the sweet drink with rum! Oh well, tonight is another night.

Uh-oh. I've been visiting and now am about to head off for a lecture. More later.

JoAnn, feel free to send me pix, you know how we thrive on them!! We LOVE seeing your smiling faces!

Last night's dinner with Maria/Bob, Priscilla/John was so enjoyable. We then went to Constellation to hear a very talented jazz quartet. Off then for the submarine races; a very private excursion.

Another GLORIOUS day today! Alan and I had a beautiful breakfast on La Veranda deck. Who could ask for a more wonderful place to start the day? We then walked off our breakfast under incredibly clear sunny skies, and smoothe seas.

Attending a lecture for some mental stimulation at 11:00AM. Cordon Bleu cooking demo. German buffet this afternoon. Crepes at tea time trivia. Hopefully, a win today. Dinner tonight with Fred/Pat, Sue/Tom in CR. Attending the brilliant Pearl Kaufman piano performance tonight. She's played piano for more film scores and TV shows than I could possibly list. Ms. Kaufman just left the computer room. We've spoken with her numerous times and she's such a lovely woman. I requested that she repeat the theme from "Exodus." She will.

I have a confession - I thought sea days would drive me insane, being the Energizer Bunny. Sea days have been so welcome and relaxing (yikes - I said the "dreaded R word!). We are loving it. Lots to do. The option of great friends to join us, or treasured alone time for just the two of us. Each day is a joy! This is such a special cruise. A great way to rejuvinate our bodies and souls!

So happy you are enjoying the sea days Denise - I just forwarded your comments to Tony as he is an energizer guy who is not sure of all the sea days on Lamb!! We have loved all the seamail and it is pretty obvious this is a special cruise - keep having fun and RELAXING!

Denise, if YOU like sea days then maybe there is hope for me!! I sure hope we have your weather for our crossing!

Joanna,

Tony and I are soulmates when it comes to energy.
He's going to have a great time on LAMB!

DID YOU HEAR THAT, TONY????????? :D

I've so enjoyed all the seamail. Denise, with your day's itinerary, where's the rest and relaxation :ohmy: . How I envy your energy.

Anyway, I don't get to check in here as much as I would like. You're traveling with such a great group. Keep having fun!

Back on track today with both dance classes under our belts - line dancing. Maria was there so we were all sweating together! A few ladies who were in attendance didn't want to sweat and ruin their makeup, so unfortunately they had to leave.

A whale was sighted this morning off the port side - I got to see the tail! A few flying fish off our balcony this morning, too.

Dinner in CR this evening with Denise/Alan, Fred/Pat which we are really looking forward to.

Today has been a beautiful day - it must be about 80 and so sunny. Not too much rocking of the seas.

We hope to win in trivia today, but if we don't we still have a good time!

Joanna,

I highly recommend for Tony the line dancing class! After that, he'll be ready to join you for a nap! :)

Tom/Sue and I took both classes today and it was a hoot! No need for aerobics afterward!

Could pole dancing lessons be coming up next ;) ???

Kathy, I should probably take black jack lessons from you ( or join your table if there is space). I have done terrible in the Casino!
