Another beautiful day at sea. This time in the Banda Sea<\/a>. Yeah. I had never heard of it either, but it is the name of a large body of water near Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started the day in the casino. Marlene won a bunch – she is nearly even now – but I lost $50, down $280 over the 25 days. Not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast I did one round of trivia, doing poorly, then while Marlene and the others played cards I blogged, catching up through Day 24. That took me to lunch where I ate a hamburger (very good) while watching the King Neptune festivities – a celebration of crossing the equator. King Neptune and his wife (played by Ivan and Oscar, two of the entertainment staff) passed judgment on a variety of cruise officials. All were convicted of “crimes” such as waking us too early and eating all the ice cream and were made to suffer the indignity of kissing a fish and being pelted with eggs and other foodstuffs. At the end the cruise director, Simon, also got pelted and the captain was tossed into the pool. All pretty funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch we played cards and I won one game. Dinner was terrific once again. Ribeye roast this time. We danced a bit, then sat for the late show – a revue of Frankie Valli hits by December ’63<\/a>. Very entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
