Another day on smooth seas. After breakfast we had to line up to retrieve our passports. I had lost my “receipt” (just a piece of paper with my name on it) so I had to sign the ship’s copy TWICE – once to acknowledge receipt of the passport and once to declare that I had misplaced my “receipt.” Why a piece of paper with my name on it was better proof that I owned the passport than simply opening the passport and matching my face… I have no idea. Seems pretty idiotic to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch we played cards, then went to dinner (see a pattern here?). Marlene posed for some photos after dinner, then we went to the evening show – a hypnotist. He got about 25 people to come up on stage to make fools of themselves. Marlene was one of those 25 but she didn’t last long – he figured out pretty quickly that he wouldn’t be able to hypnotize her and asked her to return to her seat. Others quickly followed, leaving about a dozen people that continued on, supposedly in a deep hypnotic state. But some of them – most notably two young men – were clearly faking it. Others were a bit more believable, but I have my doubts that any were truly hypnotized; they were just willing to dance like ballet dancers, shiver from imagined cold and generally act foolish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of dancing, then we spent some time in the casino to finish the day. I should have just gone to bed as I lost $90 (down $370).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
