Rainy,
80s
Four
days in a row of rain!! This is a first for us on a cruise!! There was no point
disembarking onto Princess Cays—
We
went to the dining room for breakfast—pool deck for lunch (cheeseburgers—no need
to do that again). Spent the rest of the day reading (finished Liberty
[lots of military/global/lost nuclear warheads/drama—rate it a 10] ----started Bad
Love by Jonathan Kellerman, a psychological “thriller”)
I
made the mistake of going to the port talk, why would I do that?? Only one port
this cruise and I could do the port talks myself. It lasted 1 hour and 20
minutes breaking into our dinner time so we ended up eating in the buffet (we like
tables for 2 –no politics—and it was too late to get one in the dining room.
Well, the line was very long in the buffet and Tim was not happy about that
either.
On
the happy side we made it to see the comedian, Troy Thirdgill—from Oregon. He
said people on a cruise are always approaching him to ask questions about the
ship, the cruise, and other matters. He said, “Folks, I’m the comedian, don’t
ask me. I don’t know.”
Then
he provided this scenario. “Let’s say some F-14s flew real low over the ship.
People would come and ask him what was going on. Do you really think the
captain of the ship sees F-14 fighter jets flying low over the ship and he says
to his Chief Mate, ‘Go get the comedian, I need to ask him what we should do.’”
That kind of humor is my favorite.
