It’s Tuesday and our fifth day at sea is coming to a close. The seas have been calm throughout. We have been meeting people, taking part in shipboard activities, and just taking time to relax. There are approximately 360 guests on board, with a crew of 376. Thirty nine percent of the guests are from the United States (ten percent from CA), eighteen percent are from Great Britain, and the remaining fifty three percent represent countries throughout the world. On Thursday we will dock at our first port of call, Nuku Hiva, a small Polynesian island, population 2,700.
Today we were treated to a Galley Lunch and were able to view the area where food preparation for the main restaurant takes place. The galley area was wall-to-wall food and the desserts couldn’t even fit and had to be laid out, buffet style, in the dining room. Chuck attended his second Italian class, spent time at the pool, and worked out. I learned how to tint paper with dyes, attended my French class, took my second dance lesson (the waltz today), and participated in the daily trivia gathering/competition. We both attended an informative presentation about Nuku Hiva, our first port, as well as a rather dry lecture, “How to Look at a Painting.”
We have found that being pampered and catered to is really fun . . .

Oh my - I think they'd be rolling me down the gangplank . . .
Just staying on board sounds pretty good to me. But now you get the added bonus of actually getting off the ship and having a whole other amazing experience. Wowzers.
who's pampering Dally while you're sailing away?
Post more photos please, you know, like food, your new friends, the pool area and Chuck in his Italian class.
Sounds amazing! Nice ratio of crew to passengers, true pampering. I think you must have had your first day on land by now, anxious to hear about it. Post and pics please! And I'm anxious to hear how Daddy is doing with his Italian, I know how much he loves foreign languages...we need a video of that.
Hope you continue to enjoy yourselves, hard not to I would guess!
