As for us, we enjoyed room service chef salads in the late afternoon. It was the best spot to cool off after spending time at the back pool.
Queens Lounge talks included info on Lahaina and Nawiliwili and a presentation of the coral reef, quite suitable to the area we are heading. Recently noticed that we also have a guest chef onboard, Kevin Templeton. We're not sure if he is actually cooking, because he has not been scheduled for any special demonstrations. The one person dealing with cooking is Verity, the Culinary Arts Center Host. She also hosts the Good Morning Amsterdam show with Gene, the cruise director.
There is a star-gazing session this evening at 9pm. Not sure if this will happen, due to tons of clouds. This activity was offered on the world cruise, and when it did take place, the folks loved it.
Before dinnertime, we went to deck six forward to watch another sunset. Once again, the timing of the sunset was most accurate on the TV channel. It really looked like it was going to be nothing, but eventually, the sky took the color of deep orange. Got some better photos with the good camera this time.
We joined our tablemates once again for dinner. They were curious as to what we ordered in the Pinnacle Grill last night. We got the distinct feeling that they all feel it is too pricey, although all of them would like to try it once this trip. Our meals were good……..one spaghetti and meatball appetizer, one crostini, Asian chicken and soy noodles, and short ribs with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy. The hardest choice was for dessert, since there were many good ones to choose from.
The show this evening was a harmonica virtuoso, Bernie Fields, a musician we recently saw on the world cruise.
The clocks went back one more hour tonight. That sure seems to make the crew happy. Us too.

Here's another cool sunset……………
