Sea Day #9

Our last full day of sailing before we arrive in Honolulu tomorrow morning.

Kelly was up early, as usual, and back from getting coffee before I even awoke. Yes I am enjoying the sleep ins! Great to reach over and have a hot coffee on my bedside table!

I finished off yesterday's blog then we headed to the Forensic lecture in the Palace Theater for today's topic on "Autopsy". Not too gory really but a good explanation of the reasons for having one in an effort to determine cause of death.

After the lecture we wandered around the promenade and did a little people watching. Lots of folks were looking at the various watch, purse and clothing sales that seem to never end on a ship!

At 11am we headed for our "Bottomless Bubbly Galley Tour" and assembled into groups of about 25 people or so. Each group headed off to view sections of the kitchen but we seemed to run into another group every time we moved. We also had difficulty hearing our guide as he spoke lightly and in a heavy Russian accent. With so many people it was impossible for everyone in our group to hear him. Throw in a bunch of kitchen noise and I was glad we had done these tours previously on other ships. Following the kitchen tour,we were treated to a buffet brunch with endless champagne.  (Clearly way too many people IMHO as 150 plus people went through)
Lots of dishes in the prep area.
Kitchen Line
Bread anyone?
Chopping pineapple.
Brunch with the Orr's.
We went looking for the hockey game in the sports bar but it was just basketball at this point so we grabbed some fresh towels and a drink and headed to our deck for some R & R.  The rains hit after 45 minutes so we headed in to watch the Preds & Winnipeg play on TV.

 A short nap and thenwe prepped for our Headliner Show tonight. He was a comedian juggler magician and was excellent. Kept the whole theater in stitches with his comic routine. We gave him a standing ovation when he was done.

Dinner was the usual crew but we had two couples missing tonight... maybe off to a specialty restaurant??

A quick stop by the casino to see an older lady pocket 8,000 bucks on a slot machine! Lots of cheering ensued.

We headed back to our room to prepare for our day trip in Honolulu in the morning.
