Sun is gone

Not only is the sun gone but the smooth seas are also gone.  I had a pair of heels out for our tropical night but I think I will stick to sandals tonight.

I went to hear Chef Geary give a presentation on making cheese cake.  He is quite funny and as he says he never tells jokes.   He only tells stories of his family and friends and that is all he needs to make people laugh.  I have heard him before as he is on the ships quite often.

A quiet day as I wanted to get some computer stuff done and they got my safe fixed so I was able to pick up my "valuables" out of the safe deposit box.   Also, got a little hand wash done.  Long cruises sound like you are busy every minute having fun but the truth is you still have mundane things to do including hand washing or going to the laundry room.  No cooking or cleaning and your bed is made for you though.

I had a little incident on the last day of the Alaska cruise which I took last year.  A beverage man barged through the door after I asked him to wait 5 minutes until I was out of the bathroom.  In doing so he hit me with the door and I had a large bruise.  I reported the incident to my travel agent and they in turn reported the inciddent to HAL.  I received a telephone call from guest relations apologyzing  and was told a gift would be waiting for me in my cabin.  Needless to say there was nothing out of the ordinary.  I emailed my agent so she would have it on Monday.  Things moved fast.  A good bottle of wine and chocolate dipped strawberries appeared Monday afternoon from Cruise Specialists, my agent.  Today, I received from HAL a gift notice of a Le Cirque dinner and a regular dinner, both at the Pinnacle.  I am happy.
