I Love SEA DAYS! These 7 have gone by in a flash!

There is so much to do on the ship! Have played a ton of pickleball, then typically plunge into pool (some days right in my pickleball clothes)! It has been scorching hot while playing pickleball, only part of one court has a bit of sun screening.


We did a cabin crawl of 11 different residents' cabins that showed off their creative decorating and storage ideas. I was part of Gold team and we had to dress up in gold to compete against the blue, green and yellow teams. I borrowed a gold crown and shirt from my neighbors Angel & Kenny and Gold team won!!

Victorius Gold Team - from left Becky & Jeff, Melody & John (who supplied a lot of clothing to group), Shirene, Steve & Debbie, Me ,

Donna, Cindy, Anna & Jimbo. Some really creative residents and lots of ideas to steal for storage and ambiance.


Another day I took a linen napkin folding class, was fun to see how many I remembered from my catering days and working at Flanders Hotel!

    Amazing how many came back to me - muscle memory - used to crank out hundreds of these at FLANDERS!

Have time to goof around with friends! Scott demonstrating pool snorkeling, to swim laps in our tiny pools! They brought a comedian from the UK on the ship - he has done 3 shows - mixed reviews! And some talented crew & residents put on a talent show last night.

Below is song the Odyssey Choir sang that got a lot of cheers.

These were very tasty. The unsweeted green tea below - not so much! Imagine tree bark boiled with a used dull tea bag! I did offer a taste to my friends right after these photos, No takers! They can't all be winners!
