Happy St. Patrick's Day! Last night we put our breakfast order request on door handle to be delivered at 8:00am. I got up shortly about 6:30 as needed to work on the blog for you. Got a lot done on it today! After our room service breakfast, we went to an interdenominational Sunday worship service, which ironically, was held in the Horizon Bar Lounge. Our cruise director, Ray (same one as last year on South America cruise), led the service which lasted about 30 minutes. Every Sunday when not in port there will be a worship service on board. Following that we attended an enrichment lecture by Sandra Bowern entitled
"Imperial China". Sandra was also the lecturer on our 2010 world cruise and she is an amazing woman. She is a walking encyclopedia on places and history of the world. Her hour lecture today covered the history of ancient China to its last emperor. Tomorrow morning she will cover China's history from there to the present. Our scheduled arrival tomorrow in Shanghai is noon.
We have been sailing in dense fog ever since we left the port yesterday evening. We are in the Yellow Sea between China and South Korea and the ocean here is only about 30 feet deep which I find amazing. The water is very smooth and looked like glass most of today. This is my kind of sailing.
After a bite of lunch we headed for the gym to get our workouts in. After showering I have since been back at the computer working more on blog. I spend a considerable amount of time blogging. Tonight is formal optional dress so that means tuxedo time for me. I enjoy wearing it. At 6:00pm is the Captain's Welcome Reception so will go meet our Captain, who is an Italian, and his staff of officers. After dinner will be the first production show with ship's young singers and dancers. I met a couple of the female dancers yesterday and they must have been 6 feet tall and very lovely. I will be on front row tonight!!
We have seen quite a few crewmembers that we have sailed with previously and they all remember us. Not sure if that is good or bad? It is so nice to get to visit with them again.
