It was another nice sea day and it was a very busy one. After breakfast, I had a hot stone massage which was just perfect. Then, we were invited to lunch with Marck, the general manager. We met him on a previous trip on Marina and liked him a lot. We had lunch with him then too. He is from The Hague and it is always fun to hear unedited opinions from non Americans.

For the second day, no one showed up for the blackjack tournament so I went with Norm to the enrichment lecture which was iPhone Camera Essentials. The speaker was Benedict Brain. I use my iPhone camera a lot but learned some new things. He will be doing more lectures during this trip. He is also very willing to help people 1:1.

Well, they are getting geared up for Easter.

We didn’t do as well in trivia as we did yesterday, placed third today but had fun.

Tonight we had the Captain’s Cocktail Celebration. We got to meet the Captain and the Officer team. We know some of them but have not sailed with this Captain before. I had my favorite drink, the Big O Martini. The O is for Oceania in case you were wondering!😃

We had dinner in the Grand Dining Room and went to the first show by the entertainment team – Broadway- which we had seen before but they totally redid the selections from what we had seen before. The singers are excellent. They will do three more shows on this segment of our trip.

Our first port is tomorrow. Marck says this is only second time that Oceania has been to this port. Looking forward to seeing beautiful weather day.
