We woke up early as the Captain came on to inform us that we
had been diverted during the night due to a medical emergency. We drifted out in the Atlantic for a long
time waiting for a medi-vac helicopter to come and pick up the patient. Apparently a crew member had severe
appendicitis. The pool deck and all
outdoor areas were closed to passengers so we stayed inside
We went to the morning lecture with the Marine
Biologist. Then we went to the dining
room for lunch since the pool buffet was not set up and we figured La Veranda
would be a zoo. We had a good light lunch.
We napped, read, and went to the NASA talk about the
retirement of the Space Shuttle. Amazing
talk.
We had our afternoon coffee at the Coffee Connection. We dressed early since Jamie was holding the
“State/Country Get-Togethers”. Florida
has more people on board than any other state.
54 in all. Only about 20 came to
the cocktail time. We met Amanda from
Miami and 2 couples from Stuart.
We then had been invited to Cabin 8103 to have drinks with
John and Janet Ward. They told us all
about their around the world excursion with National Geographic. They loved it. Private plane, special accommodations, and a
special trip. Expensive too!
They had reservations at Prime 7 so we went to the Compass
Rose and had a good dinner.
We met Gemma after dinner and enjoyed Mikah’s one-woman
show. She is a good performer.
By this time we were both well over-served, so we headed off
to bed.
