The hot spots are reportedly going to be the Library, the Navigator Lounge, and the Vista Lounge. None in any cabins because it would be to difficult to wire. And don't get your hopes up about any kind of speedy internet; ain't happenin'.


Gil, the casino isn't opening until late every evening, and by the time we get through an extended dinner, we just go to bed. I played a few of the machines the day we were on our way to Cozumel, didn't find any generous ones, but haven't played at the tables at all. Now I know that I need a few sea days on my cruises.

I don't know anything about the entertainment/shows, either, because they have been starting at about 10:00. Kenny Smiles is tonight at 9:30, we might try to get to that one since Suzie and Marilyn are such "good friends" with him.

Quite frankly, I am having a problem not having the experienced European stewardesses. The little Filipino girl (she looks about 14) is trying her best and is always cheerful, but I had to teach her the difference (by feel) between feather pillows and non-feather. Our deck chair cushions are left out in any kind of weather, when they have always been brought in at night before.

We are at an industrial-type port in Santo Tomas, Guatemala, today. It's still early so I don't know if we plan to get off.
