Our Valentine’s Day photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Valentine’s Day. We had breakfast as usual, but called again for our complimentary trays of petit fours before we went up. It was my third call, which was a little annoying. Room service said they couldn’t deliver because we had our “Do Not Disturb” sign up, which wasn’t true. But we took the sign in and left for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a lot of time after breakfast editing photos. Not cruise photos – photos from 2016. I have been trying to reduce the size of my edited photos. It seems unlikely that I will ever order hard copies photographs to be made and lower resolution is fine for phone, laptop and Facebook. I can recover many gigabytes of disk space with this kind of editing. But it is tedious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The petit fours appeared after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent a lot of time in the casino, both playing slots and socializing with Sherman and Rose. Nobody did well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wandered the shops a bit, looking for bargains and finding none. Dinner was a disappointment – the worst prime rib I have ever had. Underdone, tough and tasteless. Marlene said I should have sent it back. That might have fixed the underdone but the tough and tasteless would have persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We packed after dinner, left the large suitcase out to be taken ashore for us and played cards. Marlene won, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got to bed early, setting the alarm for 6am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
