Last Night:
After cocktails in the Meridian Lounge we headed to Compass Rose restaurant for dinner. It's interesting to observe the dining habits of passengers. The first couple nights of cruises everyone seems to show up at 6:30 when the dining venues open for dinner. Everyone wants to be seated at the same time so there is a line at the Compass Rose entrance. Then people start to dine in other venues and dine later. So now the flow is much better for the waiters and kitchen trying to get food out in a timely manner.
After dinner we went to the theater and grabbed our usual front row seats. The headliner entertainers for last night's show was "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere". We had seem them on a previous cruise and knew they would have a good show. Adam & Tabitha sang and played multiple instruments throughout their 45 minute show. We're looking forward to another show of theirs in a few days.
Today:
Moved clocks ahead another hour last night so moved our usual room service delivery time to 9:00. Worked out as usual in the gym then cleaned up before lunch time. Every sea day they feature a different nationality food buffet at the pool grill. Yesterday was a Greek lunch buffet but it was moved inside La Veranda due to the weather. Today was a Tex-Mex buffet and it was moved down to Compass Rose, again due to the weather. They keep things pretty mild and not spicy on the ship. Even today's jalapenos were mild. I did not want to eat too much. At home we do not have much at lunch time.
Just called and talked with my mother. Think we may watch a movie after I finish this. Will be going to the Seven Seas Society (Regent's frequent cruiser program) party at 6:00 this evening. One of our friends, Marcia Rector, is going to be honored at it by the Captain for being elevated to "Diamond" status. To become a "Diamond" member you have had to sail over 1,000 nights on Regent ships. It is quite an accomplishment!! We are now Titanium going over 600 nights on this cruise so still have a long ways to go. Afterwards the ship's officers are having a private dinner party for her at 7:00 up in the side of La Veranda that is usually closed at night. Marcia has also included us as guests for dinner. It's going to be a very special night for sure. Will have photos of it tomorrow.
Another production show tonight at 9:30. Hopefully we will be finished with the special dinner as want to see it.
