Day 12: At Sea

Well, another sea day and more news about our disembarkation.  The announcement by the Argentinian government last night that it was immediately closing borders to all visitors is, obviously, a concern.  The captain announced today that it appears the government will allow us to be transported to the airport on the 19th, provided the ship submits a current temperature record of all people on board.  Hopefully we will be treated as being "in transit", and not as visitors.

We had a fairly quiet day today, enjoying a British Pub Lunch and watching a movie in our room.  Mary enjoyed some balcony time and I won a medal in a shuffleboard tournament, bring me to a total of 2 while participating in only 5 events.  My new Cape Horn shirt can be seen in the picture.


Tonight was a formal night and dinner featured a Lobster Tail.  It was delicious!  Mary was delighted when Floating Islands showed up to the dessert menu.  I love this particular Chocolate Journey as well as Floating Islands so I ordered both.  I must admit that I did not quite finish all the meringue on my floating islands. 

Tomorrow we will enjoy a champagne breakfast on our balcony, courtesy of our travel agent, Crucon. After that they are calling all passengers to Medical, floor by floor, to have our temperatures recorded. 
The adventure continues!

I’m curious what happens if even one passenger does have a temp?
Hope your next few days go smoothly as you begin travel back home.
This is one trip you’ll not soon forget!
Take care!

I had the same question as Kathy! What happens if somebody does have a temperature? Has anyone mentioned that? Hopefully they're not going to shut down everyone if one or two people are running a low grade temp. It must be very nerve-racking for all of you on the ship.
On another note I love that chocolate dessert!
Enjoy the rest of the cruise the best you can!

Truly an unforgettable voyage! I was also wondering what would happen if someone has a fever. Who knows, you might still come all the way to Ft.Lauderdale, the way things are going. Tell Mary the Floating Island is my favorite too, it looks marvelous!
