Our first full day on the Pride<\/em>. We had breakfast in the buffet and met a lovely woman from Michigan, Amy, who was traveling alone and made arrangements to dine with her at dinner. It was a formal night so Marlene and Amy were both dressed to the nines. I was definitely the thorn between two roses. A guy asked me how HE could get two lovely women. I said “be me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner we all went to the show – “88 Keys”, a tribute to piano classics. The voices were terrific, as was the piano playing. I was also impressed by the staging. Very professional. It was, hands down, the best cruise production I have seen since before COVID. Near the theater was a little hallway called, I believe, Serenity Garden. Empty but I thought it was lovely. Very tasteful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped in one of the nightclubs on the way back to the room. The band was playing some very danceable music, which we could not resist. We danced. And danced some more. Then we met the band. From Argentina. I think we will be dancing to their music many more times on this cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent quite a bit of time in the casino. I think Marlene is down some but the slots continued to be kind to me. I ended the day up $123. It won’t last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
