May 25, 2012 - at sea

Again we slept in because of the time change. We are not playing bridge today. We all need a break. Also Hyperion Knight is giving a special afternoon concert at 3pm which we want too attend. We are looking for our next cruise so I'll spend some time on that.

Evelyn and I would like to do one that goes to Iceland and Greenland (we found one that does the UK and the around the top of the world to New York, Myrna doesn't want to fly and would like to do a R/T from Los Angeles or San Diego (there are either 14 day Hawaii or 28 day Tahiti). The Tahiti stops at each of 4 of the Hawaiian islands for one day each. Evelyn doesn't like the idea of the LA - Hawaii leg as a waste of time. And besides the 28 days has 19 sea days. More about this later. We may be looking for new travel buddies.

The concert was very good. Then we had to change our clothes for Friday night services' and the for dinner at Sabatini's. We has a good turn out for services, picking up some new people. Before we had dinner we stopped at the suite party for drinks,

The ship has two speciality restursnts, Sternling's Steakhouse and Sabatini's, the Italian restaurant. Each has a cover charge of $20 per person. We both had vouchers for a free dinner at Sabatini's and a bottle of champaign from our travel agent because we booked using the American Express Platinum card.

Between the two I like Sabatini's better. They have one of the best veal chops I've eaten. Nelson the matre de remembers everyones name and is very personable. It is a lot of food, but I have learned to pace myself and only eat half the appetizer and the pasta course, saving myself for the veal chop. Others in our party ate too much and complained that they did not have a restful night. Instead of the champaign we we able to get a nice chianti, the first time then have allowed us to make the switch.
