Day 107 – At Sea – April 21

There was considerable deck motion this morning. We can probably expect this to continue through most of our transit of the Atlantic to Puerto Rico.

Coffee Chat

Mark Beasley, the Event Manager, was the guest this morning for Coffee Chat at 9:30 AM in the Explorers Lounge. Mark is from Houston, Texas, and has been on ships for the last 10 years. He attended Johnston and Wales University in Florida majoring in Culinary Arts. He worked at Disney and at an Italian restaurant called Carrabbas before getting hired by Holland America. His first ship was the Ryndam on an Alaska cruise.

Hamish and Mark during Coffee Chat

Mark is quite the pizza aficionado and he has one rule about what’s appropriate on a pizza topping, and that is No Pineapples! This led to a lively discussion with some of the guests as to the pros and cons of pineapple toppings and why they are or are not appropriate.

Guest Talent Show

The guest talent show was today in the Queens lounge at 3 PM. I wanted to get a front row seat in the balcony, so I could have a clear view for my camera, so I got there an hour early. The place filled up but there were a few seats available right up until show time. A total of 22 guests performed and each guest was allocated three minutes but most ended up taking closer to five minutes. And there was probably at least a minute between performances so the entire show took about two hours.

Motown Dinner Theme

Tonight was not a formal night, but they did have a special theme for dinner: Motown. The dining room was decorated with plenty of gold records and the waiters wore different colored velour shirts.

Jason Lyle Black

Jason Lyle Black was the featured entertainer this evening. He played a variety of theme songs from various movies including Indiana Jones and The Sting. He played a few songs while lying on his back on the piano bench, upside and backwards.
