We are, somewhat reluctantly, eastbound toward the mainland. Officially, there is one more port, Ensenada, Mexico. It’s not one that interests us.
The Cruise Director’s try to make the return trip as much of a party as possible. New Year’s Eve is the party target. We have to decide whether we will celebrate the New Year at midnight ship time or Eastern time.
A couple of galley staff did the traditional ice carving. A fascinating if temporary art form.
This morning there is yet another art auction. Personally, if I were interested in purchasing art a cruise ship auction would not be my first choice. I suppose there is a money to intelligence ratio required for such purchases. I guess the art sales, bars and casinos create the profits.
Three groups of passengers continue to prepare for performances. Some participate in a choir, others learn ukulele, still others learn hula. All will be on stage during the final days of the cruise.
We have found two groups that play danceable music, so when we are not at a show of some kind we can be found dancing. The Janos quartet has been fun.
More in 2018.
Happy New Year
