Wednesday, September 30 – A Day At Sea

The seas were a bit rough today. It didn’t bother either of us, but we learned later that some were sick.

Since I was up early, I went to the Spectacular Lounge to check it out and saw Eduard Klassen’s harp on the stage. This was our first day in the very large room.

Our water supply for the morning.

Margaret and Amos Raber opened the morning concert – 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM.

Singing one of their pretty love songs.

Eduard and Christine Klassen

 

Lydia and John Schmid

The Stutzmans

During lunch we heard that someone was going to design an ice sculpture – and located it at one end of the pool on Deck 9.

Before long, we could see that it was an Indian.

The Stulls and Cerwin watching the ice artist.

The elephant was also watching.

We passed this Carnival critter on the way to our room.

We stopped to shop – but didn’t buy anything.

These four were playing Rook.

The Coffee Shop

It’s good that we had just eaten lunch.

Sarah and Nelson Coblentz opened the afternoon concert – 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The Wissmanns

I forget what these five were up to – but it was probably something funny. 🙂

Sharon Bethel Quartet

Ryan and Friends

The skunk thought she smelled something strange in the room.

Turned out that it was her.

How easy it is to blame others for bad attitudes (smells) when it was us all the time.

Drawing her daddy’s nose and ears.

It’s the first time I ever saw a talking wet board.

It may have been at this point where these three exchanged voices.

Amos Raber helped out for this skit.

I am not sure how I missed taking pictures of the funniest part of Ryan’s part today. When he used real people to be “dummies” and sing “Jesus Loves Me.” I was probably laughing so much that I forgot I had a camera in front of me. 🙂

The Stutzmans

John Schmid

All dressed up and waiting for The Gold Pearl Restaurant doors to open for supper.

Our schedule told us that the dress code for the evening was elegant.

We could watch our waiter staff preparing for the meal.

Our table #438.

CerCerwin chose alligator for his appetizer.

My appetizer: cold cherry soup.

My lobster tail meal

Cerwin’s dessert

My cherries jubilee.

The waiters and waitresses sang a song to us from the stairways.

The Cool Lounge where Daniel Pollard would be speaker later in the evening.

Daniel’s subject was “When the Storms Come.”

He told us a bit of his story which began in Trinidad.

There was a elephant in our room again – but this one was standing instead of sitting like the previous night.
