Sea Day Heading to Antigua and Barbuda

We awoke early and readied ourselves for a busy day at sea.  We have several lectures that we want to attend today.   “Hutch” is the port talk presenter and has an excellent knowledge base for providing us with updated information.

Our first port talk covered the Caribbean island of Barbados.  We than attended a port talk for Trinidad and Grenada.  Tomorrow we will be arriving in Antigua, our first port of call for five consecutive port days.   We have scheduled a beach break excursion with our friends, Bill and Stella, for tomorrow’s main activity.

Later in the afternoon, we relaxed in the sun at the Terrace Pool on Deck 14.  That area of the ship is more secluded and private and offers an atmosphere conducive to reading and napping.

Tonight was the first formal night and of course, Dennis and I do not enjoy very many of these evenings.  Bill brought his tuxedo for this trip and was ready for a very sophisticated evening.  After dinner Bill and Stella, Ann and Ruben and Dennis and I attended the Princess dancers Broadway Showtime performance.  Then we headed to the Explorer’s Lounge to listen to the Irish comedian, George Casey.  All seats were taken for his show but we decided to stand and listen because he is so talented.  We both agree that he is one of the best comedians we have ever seen or heard.  Evidently, the rest of the passengers felt the same way, since all seats were taken long before curtain time.

We retired before midnight, as we will be getting up early to spend the day in Antigua.
