October 9, 2008 – Rhodes, Greece

We docked in Rhodes at 8:30, but the ship wasn’t cleared until almost 10:00 and we had to be back on board at noon. We had a leisurely stroll through the beautiful walled part of the city which was crowded from several large cruise ships in port. There were multiple jewelry & tourist shops as well as tavernas and restaurants. Lunch was a Greek cookout on the pool deck followed by the standard at sea activities. Our trivia team from several cruises won with only 11 of 15 correct answers. The evening dress code was formal, we skipped the Captain’s welcome party and had a fun dinner in the Portofino restaurant with 2 other couples. The show didn’t sound interesting so we played blackjack and came out even for the night.
