SUNDAY, MAR 28TH--AT SEA

At last night’s formal cocktail party Captain Dag briefed the passengers on some special procedures to be followed, if in the very unlikely event, the ship is attacked by Somali pirates as we approach the east coast of Africa. I believe everyone feels very comfortable and safe with all the precautions Regent and Captain Dag are taking for our safety. So do not worry about us. The show last night with Jamie Michael Stewart was one of the best we have seen on a cruise ship. Can’t wait for his next show. Ok, as for today, at 9am we attended the Palm Sunday church service and also took communion. Then at 10am I attended the lecture on “The Silk Road and The Travels of Marco Polo” and 11am lecture on “Combating 21st Century Piracy”. We had lunch with our next door neighbors, Don & Caroline. I just got back from a health & fitness entitled “Fighting the Fat” by Brandan the ship’s fitness guru. How appropriate is that lecture on this ship. Sad to say but there were only 6 people attending it. Guess everyone else was busy eating cookies. Next is tea time quiz at 4:30. Tonight is “Texas Night”! The four Dallas area couples are having dinner together. Show tonight is with ship’s singers and orchestra so want to see it. The ocean today has looked like a mirror-smooth as glass. Just the way we like it! We are scheduled to dock in Male in the Maldives. I have never heard of them but they are located a little south and slightly to west of southern tip of India. After 3 days at sea it will be good to set foot on land again. Again no new photos today.
