Sea Day

 Sea Date March 6, 2024

Another lecture on musicals!  A visitor landed on a balcony on the ship to rest its wings.

Country Western night - dancing and a sing-a-long.  Monica made it fun for all of us!

(So, I loaded the pictures backward and they still showed up backwards?)


Leon, Jan and Sheryl are having fun.

Naha, Okinawa, Japan

 Sea Date February 25, 2024 Day 2 Our tour concentrated on the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Imperial rulers prior to Japanese control. The Ryukyu Kingdom was a kingdom in the Ryukyu Islands from 1429 to 1879. It was ruled as a tributary state of imperial Ming China by the Ryukyuan rulers and treated as a vassal state of Japan at times.  They were the trading intermediaries between China and Japan . In 1879,Japan sent a military unit and annexed Ryukyu. Suiko, our talented, kind tour guide was back with us. It was a gray day with an off and on drizzle but still pleasant for touring.  We started at Syuri Castle Park.  It is the most famous landmark in Naha.  The G8 Summit that President Clinton attended held a large banquet here. It was the castle for the Imperial rulers of the Ryukyu kingdom.  Unfortunately, most of it was bombed in 1945, rebuilt and then burned in 2019.  The government is in the process of rebuilding trying to use authentic material and...

 Sea Date, May 10, 2024  Our LAST Sea Day I toured the ship early in the morning to say goodbye.  It seems so strange to be leaving. Lots of Goodbyes. Farewell from the crew on the Main Stage. Last lunch. Our Goodbye Party. Bounce Reveal. Captain Frank's Goodbye Video. Karen and Monica's hysterical photo and video montage. Award ceremony.   Last No Bounce gathering at Seaview. Many tearful goodbyes. You really become family!                                                                                             Rangga                                                      ...

Panama Canal Crossing

 Sea Date January 24, 2024 What an interesting day.  We started at 6:15 am on the bow of the ship to watch the sunrise and the beginning of the Canal crossing.  Throughout the entire day, Kimberly, our cruise director, shared insights about the operation and history of the Canal.  Having read The Path Between the Seas, I truly appreciated the engineering feat of this canal.  It cost our ship $367,000 to cross the canal.  Our local pilot had led 4,000 ships on this journey. We passed the Smithsonian Tropical Research Facility.  There are over 400 species of birds and butterflies in the area. We were able to see the jail that housed Noriega until his death. The pilots, trains, lines, water chambers, opening and closing of locks all work very smoothly.  It was fascinating to view the process.  I took too many pictures but it was captivating.  Locks are basically water elevators for ships.  Some ships that don't want to pay for transit ...
