Steve's birthday post

January 30th was Steve's 65th birthday and we were treated to dinner at the Captain's table in the Pinnacle Grill. Lovely conversation, great meal - 6 courses - and gifts. Seating assignments so spouses and couples were separated were made to encourage conversations and we truly enjoyed the evening.

The next day (Jan 31) we were supposed to land at the Cook Islands, however seas were rough and tender operations had to be cancelled and so we departed for New Zealand and we should arrive a day earlier and the Captain has confirmed we will be able to dock the evening of February 5th. This is after we cross the International Date Line meaning we won't have a February 3rd on board the ship. Tom was delighted and asked if that meant the Super Bowl would be cancelled but the Captain assured us we would receive live transmission of the game the evening of February 4th, haha.

Steve isn't favoring a team this year, but will probably join other friends on board who hail from Baltimore - Go Ravens !!
