Today was a sea day and we got up later than usual. Breakfast and then the gym.
We had to get a covid antigen test done and we did that at 11am. I congratulated the nurse on the speed, accuracy and depth of the swab. “Yes, many take the swab and go to (as trump would say) Chhh-iinnaa. ” The fact that she was oriental and probably Chinese made me laugh even harder.
The Dive In was waiting for us after the grueling workout. They have added milkshakes to the menu!
Tim and I played some more table tennis. Interesting game when the ship rolls to one side.
Terri and I listed to a piano quartet in the Lincoln Center. A piano quartet contains a violin, viola, cello, and piano. The group played a program called “Music of the Ballets”. Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Peer Gynt and others. The intonation of the group was superb and the attention to detail outstanding. I gave them a 10.
Another formal night. Tim and Kelley invited to dinner in the Pinnacle Grill to celebrated our 18th anniversary.
The evening entertainment were the HAL dancers. They are usually very good and tonight they didn’t disappoint. The show was introduced by the Cruise Director. She reminded us that masks are required everywhere on the ship. She made this announcement without a mask on. Sound familiar?
The show was called the “Instruments of the Orchestra” and the group put on a great show.
We played the dice game Farkle with Tim and Kelley after the show. Fun game. Strange name. The mask police were in full force. If you buy a drink, they leave you alone.…
