AROUND THE SHIP

There are many shows on the ship and I took a few photos of a one hour show in the Galaxy Lounge that was called Curtain Calls. The show included snippets of several shows including Evita, Cats Mama Mia. The costumes are elaborate, the singing and the dancing is superb. We don't know how the dancers can make such quick changes. There are many shows per segment and infact we have another one tonight, all different with different songs and different sets.

Some photos are of the sunsets that we see from our windows. The sunrises are also spectacular, but we are never awake that early in the morning to see them.

Another event that I have photos of is the Crew Olympics. They had events for the 200 and some crew who participated in such events as Tug of War and Greasy Pole over the swimming pool. The bar tenders, housekeeping, dining room staff, shop staff etc all dressed up differently for their group. It was fun to watch the staff having a ball.

The Closing Ceremonies of the Cruise Olympics was great too with Harry winning a Gold Medal in Lap swimming for his age group. He worked so hard for it and we were so pleased he got his Gold. The ceremony included entertainment, the extinguishing of the flame and the handing out of the final metals. It was a great event. I got my photo of Billy Mills who made the movie in Edmonton and won the 10,000 m gold medal in Tokyo Japan.

As you can see, we are kept very busy.
