Day 12
COFFEE CHAT
Mark Donoghue was as engaging during this morning’s Coffee Chat as he was performing last night on the main stage. He majored in music while in college in the UK and started performing in small clubs up and down the English motorways as he gradually built his reputation and the size of his audiences. Early in his career he performed behind chicken wire to avoid flying objects from disgruntled patrons, but those days are long gone as he primarily performs for the more “refined” cruise ship crowd.
The lecturer from the Brazilian Cultural Ambassadors gave an interesting talk about Brazil in the Main Stage. The lectures are always full and the ones I have attended have been excellent.
SALAD BY THE POOL
Our lunch routine is sharing a fresh salad that we enjoy out by the Sea View pool. They do a good job with the salad bar. They also have the custom sandwich bar and sushi which we are told is only on World Cruises (or maybe any Grand Voyage?)
MAIN DINING ROOM
Tonight’s dinner featured a special menu from the Culinary Council with special plates we haven’t see before.
Lee Bradley
Lee Bradley, operatic tenor from England, was this evening’s entertainer on the Main Stage. His performance of “Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera was powerful. He put on a great show singing everything from Italian Opera to Elvis. We are looking forward to his second performance before he leaves the ship.
We will be in Recife, Brazil, tomorrow.

Lee Bradley! Lucky you. I love his music, and a genuinely nice guy to boot. Thanks for sharing these great posts!
