Another relaxing sea day. Nana started her day with a competitive swim with Wolfgang. Nana did bridge both in the morning and afternoon. Papa was the fill in but wasn’t needed so he was able to get a lot of programming done. I heard back from someone at the JMRI (Model Train Program) group who…
Today we were in Gibraltar, this is our second visit to Gibraltar. It has changed so much since our first visit. The city has grown a lot and it seems the war caves have we visited on our first trip have changed a lot to. It looks like they’re adding a lot more displays, but…
Today was a sea day. Very nice and relaxing. We attended the Mariners Award Reception today. Last time we received our Silver Medallion for 300 sea days, this time we watched other people receive their award. It was very interesting. We were told there were 900 4 star and 5 star mariners on the ship…
We were at our 2nd and third Canarias Island stops today and yesterday. Since we didn’t do much on Saturday I am combining two blogs Suzanna and Wolfgang went swimming on Saturday in the main pool. Part of their challenge was to be in the pool but not have anybody else in there. Wolfgang and…

Today we arrived into Funchal (Madeira), Portugal. A lovely island off of the coast of Africa. There we met up with a dear friend, Jmichaele Keller. I have known Jmichaele for over 50 years, we were in scouting trips together, went to Notre Dame together, and have visited him at many places after that. Jmichaele…
So busy on the ship in the morning. I feel that breakfast is the most important meal and the Dutch must feel that too. Everyone is out for breakfast. It is so important to start off your day with food, especially protein to get your body going and your metabolism started. I still had to…
Somewhere in the English Channel Nana thinks I’m confused about which day we are on a cruise, it all depends on how you count if you count the first day we board as the first day or the first full day so I will just put the date of the day I’m writing to make…
A great sea day today. We are somewhere in the English Channel heading to Madeira, an island that is a part of Portugal. Nana and I love our sea days. Nana goes to her exercise class before Mass. I meet her for breakfast and we walk a mile around the outside deck. It has…
We finished our first 2 weeks of our cruise. I didn’t blog as we spent a lot of days on the sea and we were busy when we were in the port. I am reenergized as one of our friends, Bob blogged everyday. Our sea days were filled with eating, eating, and more eating.…
