LAST NIGHT:

                                                                           Sunset

                                       Valentine's Day cocktails in the Mariner Lounge.
                                                              Now that's some outfit!!!!
                      All ladies were given a long stem red rose as they entered for dining.
                  This is Takhmina from Uzbekistan.  She is assisting our waiter in Prime 7.
Kenny and Takhmina removing the glass covers on our applewood smoked salmon entrees.  Smoke was released when they did.
                                Very nice presentation but probably won't order it again.
    I will order this again!  14 layer chocolate cake.  Note 14 written in chocolate on the plate.
We really enjoyed Chris Richie's show.  Great voice who sang tunes from artists such as:  Neil Diamond, Elvis, Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdink.  Mariner orchestra was great backing him up.


TODAY:

Our position at noon in the Gulf of Mexico enroute to Pregresso, Mexico.  Skies are overcast today and it is 81 degrees with 50% humidity.
                The Gulf is rougher than the Caribbean has been.  Still getting a good ride however.
                        Pool grill had a seafood buffet at lunch time.  This is salmon in pastry.
                                                Fish, grilled vegetables, potatoes, and rice.
                                                  Seafood paella, salmon, and more.
                        I had one of my favorites on the ship for lunch--seafood bouillabaisse.

        We were watching a really good movie this afternoon and just before the ending all the tv movie channels went blank.  Now back on but them movie we were watching started over at the beginning.  Not sure we will see the ending before cocktail time.  Found it on the movies list so can watch ending another day. 
        Tonight's headliner entertainer is a pianist who lives in New York City, Tim Brumfield.  I'm not a big fan of instrumentalists, as I have said many times, but we will give him a try.







HOMEWARD BOUND

  LAST NIGHT We had cocktails in the Mariner Lounge with Marcia, Burt, Richard, Harvey, and Gudrun (sales consultant).  Then up to Sette Mar...
