Up early and continuing my string of great breakfasts. Today, I brought Ellen some eggs over easy (right off the griddle and down to the room). She ate them before the rest of her breakfast arrived (he was a little late).
There are three other ships here today. The PO Britannia (a few years ago in St Maarten, this was PO’s biggest ship and brand spanking new – had some nautical miles on her since then);
the smaller Windstar Star Pride,
and the gerontological cruise ship, AIDA Luna (not so funny anymore).
We were not going off so I
took a lot of pictures of the port and the ships.
We watched the sail away from Barbados. All our companion ships got in this shot.
The rest of the day was pretty routine – lunch in the Oceanview
Café – Dinner buffet as well (they do have a vegan section but I have been
waiting for the Impossible Chili to show up – not tonight). The dinner might
not have been spectacular but the sunset was.
Looking forward to Showtime tonight because the headliner is Anne Martinez, high energy, multi-octave singer who performed a wide variety of songs from “Tennessee Whisky” to “Bring on the Men” (my least favorite song from “Jekyll and Hyde”). She did a song from “The Little Mermaid” and finished with “The Last Dance”, which is really her kind of song. She is very good on stage – knows how to move and use dance to complement her singing, which is really good (one of the best we have seen). She also tells good stories between songs – tonight is was all about her husband’s interesting way of marinating meat and turkey. I just didn’t get the feeling that the audience was engaged. She didn’t do an encore.
From the theater, we went over to the Ensemble Lounge to
hear Jay again. As expected the place
was packed. We found two seats in front
of Murano (probably for passengers waiting to get into the restaurant) and Jay
again did not disappoint.
An easy day in the Caribbean.
