Day 59, March 4th At Sea
Coffee Chat
Giovanni was the guest today for Coffee Chat. He got his start as a cast singer on another cruise line but was able to break out and establish his solo show after impressing the cruise director with an informal audition in the crew area.
Casino
Good day in the casino as I won 2 of the 3 tournaments I entered.
Afternoon
Judy attended Ben’s drawing class where they continued concentrating on tone and how it helps with composition.
The craft today was Lace earrings. Sometimes it takes several hands to twist the wire.

Making the earnings
Margaret finished her bias cowl that she knit in the possum blend yarn she bought in New Zealand. Judy helped her block the cowl.
We will be in Manila tomorrow, and it was scheduled to be another big day for family and friends to visit the ship. Henk sent out a memo today that said that due to 3 other cruise ships being in port, Manila officials revoked permission for anyone but passengers and crew to pass thru the cruise terminal until after 7 pm.
Evening
Popular choices for dinner this evening included Chateaubriand and Whole Roasted Turkey with Giblet Gravy and Cranberry Sauce.
Bernie Fields put on a outstanding show this evening in the Queen’s Lounge. Bernie played a wide variety of tunes on his harmonica ranging from popular tunes like “What a Wonderful World” to classical favorites “Ava Maria”. We have enjoyed his performance several times on other cruises and never miss a chance to watch his wonderful show.
