I think you all will really like the spaciousness of this ship. Deck 5 has a large coffee corner, and huge area with reception, destination services, concierge, Gutrun’s office, Franck’s office and a special new dining reservation desk for specialty reservations and changes. No more waiting until 5:00 to try to make or change reservations.

Today is our first sea day and everyone is rejoicing as this has been so port intensive. Tom’s at dancing class right now and I’m playing bingo at 11:30. At 1:00 we’re having a Texas Hold’em tournament that seems to be a big hit. They’re having a Spanish lunch on the pool deck today with Paella.

I forgot to mention that besides all the toilets having “soft close” lids, all the drawers inside the suites are self closing too .
Last night we had the Block Party and we met lots of nice people. There are a LOT of people from California. I haven' seen or heard any numbers for state representation but I would guess California is #1 on this voyage.

Life is GOOD !
