Day 10: At Sea

We had typical sea day activities today.  While I played bridge this afternoon, Mary went to the Crew Talent Show.  She enjoyed seeing some of the staff we have met in a different light.   On the left is a picture of all participants.  On the right is a bartender filling many glasses at once.  The cruise director was her favorite act -- he played guitar and sang Country Roads, and asked the audience to sing along... and in this audience of people from all over the world, everyone knew the words!

We went to a 70's Show tonight, with the cruise director dressed up as Austin Powers.  We expected a variety of 70's music, but it was mainly focused on the late 70's (Disco).  He did a good job of getting people out on the dance floor and teaching them some routines. 

There is more cruise news.  We were supposed to visit Puerto Madryn tomorrow, but Argentina has denied our stopping there.  And then a few minutes ago the captain made another announcement, that Montevideo has now denied our visit there.  However, the ship needs to pick up supplies at that port, so the plan now is to just dock for servicing.

As to our final destination of Buenos Aires, all indications are that we still will fly home from there on the 19th, but passengers may only be allowed off the ship to catch a bus to the airport so shore excursions are in doubt.   Things are changing rapidly, as you well know.

The good news out of this is we get 4 sea days!  Yippee!  I'm sure the cruise director's staff is busy planning more onboard activities while the shore excursion team is cancelling a lot of excursions. 

This would be a whole lot simpler if they just sailed us to Fort Lauderdale!   That's the news of the day!
