October 2012 – Day 9

 For our second sea day, we woke up to beautiful skies with a slight wind. 

We stayed on the sun deck until Noon when we went into lunch with Tim & Barb.  They wanted to go to the main dinning room so we went with them.   It was a fine meal; however, for lunch we really like to be outside eating from the very elaborate buffet that they have.

After lunch we went to the casino to play in the blackjack tournament.  A $500 1st prize for a $25 entry fee.

There were seven spots in the final table.  Tim had one of them and Ed and Barb Freeman tied so there was a 5-hand playoff and Barb won.  In the final, neither Barb or Time won; however, Barb just barely lost on the last hand.

We then went to our table and played a session of blackjack where Ed had win.  Barb was winless on the slot machine.

We did not go to the show as it was a repeat of a show we had seen 3 times before.

Dinner is Blue as a typical good meal with outstanding service.  There are probably never more that 25 people in the restaurant at a time with at least that many staff.

Then it was on to the casino where Barb didn’t play and Ed had a huge win – the biggest of the cruise so far.

Before sleeping we organized for our day on Aruba – our fist time back since Barb was sick and we are really, really looking forward to taking Dr. Becker to lunch.

Night for now – on our way to Aruba.
