Today was the second Tuesday May 14 this cruise. That was only fair since we never had a February 21 this year.
Last evening as we were sailing away from Russia the Viking Vocalists put on a special show for the long term passengers (those on the ship for either 93 days like us or 78 days from Sydney Australia ending in Vancouver Canada). Of course the show was James Bond with From Russia with Love and many other Bond songs.
Then as we were about to cross the dateline the ship had to ask permission of the Golden Dragon to cross. He is the ruler of the 180th Meridian. Fortunately we were allowed to cross safely. We all shared a toast. But it was very confusing how to set clocks especially on the computer.
Later Mike, a new friend who is also a 93 dayer, sent Kathy an email. It had this photo. We eat most meals with Jan and Mike at “our table” in the World Café. So far I have had lamb 42 times on this ship. It is fairly well known around the ship especially by the Chef and his assistants at the Café.
Tomorrow we will arrive in Alaska. We are now starting the last leg of the trip and trying to organize the things we have bought along the way.
