November 09, 2008 - At Sea

The morning began with the Sunday breakfast supplements of caviar & mimosas. The seas were calm and the temperature was quite pleasant. There was a port wine tasting at 11:00 that we enjoyed followed by a special lunch in the Compass Rose. We had prearranged to have beef tartare prepared for a group of us that expanded to 12 people total when Captain John & Carolina joined us. We had a lively group and the tartare was excellent. Later we got a lot of questions (jealousy I think) as to what type of the lunch the Captain was hosting and we told them that we hosted it and the Captain joined our group. This evening several of us were invited to a suite for cocktails and then went to dinner with 2 adjoining tables of 6. Just for the fun of it we had a boys table and a girls table and that really got some comments from other friends. It was a lot of fun and, as is our habit, we closed the restaurant, missed the show and went to the casino where we broke even for the night.
