Day 12 @ Sea enroute to Manta Ecuador

Today was a sea day and so much to do.  We had a light breakfast in the Lido and Pat joined us.  We then went down to the Cove to watch them set up for our Parisian Jazz Brunch.

We spoke for a long while with Josef (Hotel Director) and Ross (Bar Manager)  We were then joined by Leo They do anything to make your vacation perfect.  We had asked Josef about the beautiful silver charger plates that they used at the Gala and he said that they used an Event planning company but he went searching on the internet till he found where we can buy them and sent the information up to our room.

The Gala was lovely and we had lunch with Pat and Ray and after lunch it was off to our computer class.  After our class we went and had tea and coffee in the Bistro to warm up it is like being in a freezer in the computer lab.  Before we knew it, it was time to get ready for dinner. They had all the French themed stuff still up and lit up and had music and singing in the cove.  We had a great dinner. In keeping with the French theme there were Eiffel Towers on the tables and roses. Tonight they had rack of lamb and although Luke and Chris both said no pictures of food I couldn’t resist.  After dinner there was a special one time performance that was put together by the Orchestra leader Raphael.  It was on Edith Piaf and starred Christine Andreas & Martin Silvestri and the World Cruise Special Event Entertainment Team and Orchestra.

It was a FABULOUS show.  As we have an early morning tour tomorrow it was early to the cabin 11:30 and I am writing my blog. 

Tomorrow we will be in Manta Ecuador where the Panama has are made and we are doing a tour on a Chiva bus.  Open air bus no cushions on the seats or a/c but there is a band.  It is suppose to be a lot of fun.

So until tomorrow.  Good night and God Bless!
