March 17 – St Patrick’s Day At Sea


Today is St Patrick’s Day and there are some parties going on in the different bars but there is not a lot Celtic pride being shown onboard.  There was an Irish trivia contest in the afternoon but our team guessed at most of the answers with mixed results.

Tonight is the last night of the cruise around the southern tip of South America.  We’ll be pulling into San Antonio in the morning and it appears that maybe only half the ship or less is doing the back to back cruise that ends in Fort Lauderdale on April 2nd.  That means that there will be mass confusions for the next couple of days while the new passengers get acclimatized to the boat.

Our dining table partners are leaving us in San Antonio.  We couldn’t have asked for better company had we personally selected them ourselves. Pat and Matt from Mexico Missouri, Ron and Coleen from Duncan British Columbia and Keith and Janet from northern England have made this trip memorable. They all have interesting life stories and we seemed to have many interests in common.  It made for very enjoyable conversations.  We’ve exchanged contact information and I hope we can maintain this friendship. 


Because we are switching rooms for the second half of the cruise, we had to pack up all our clothes and souvenirs.  Our current room steward, Douglas is taking responsibility for moving everything to the new room.  He has been great.  The room has always been immaculate.

I guess along with new dining room companions, we will have different table staff.  If they are as good as the crew we had for the first part of the cruise, I will be very happy.
