Henk Mensink, the Hotel Director, was the special guest for Coffee Chat this morning. He shared an amusing story as to how he met his wife, Christel, along with stories about riding their tandem bicycle and driving rally cars. Henk discussed the challenges of trying to satisfy everyone on a World Cruise and dealing with changes and passengers expectations. Along the way, he emphasized how the crew was the essential ingredient to success. The upcoming drydock was the subject for several questions from guests and Henk provided a brief overview of what changes are in store. He emphasized that the library will remain largely unchanged.

The ship hosed off the moveable Lido Dome today and we were able to watch a worker walk up and down while working his hose.

One of the featured items for dinner this evening was “Grandma’s Meatloaf.” It was very good, and we were able to get the recipe which you can find HERE. You will notice that the recipe is for 80 servings. And it calls for 1.5 POUNDS of eggs! I found a conversion website and 1 dozen extra-large eggs is about 1.5 pounds.
The Jukebox Rogues were back for their second show and were as good as their first performance. They started the show with a string of classics including:
- “Walk Like a Man”
- “Try a little Tenderness”
- “Singing in the Rain”
- “Blue Moon”
- “My Eyes Adored You”
Toward the end of the show they showed off their West End background with a stirring rendition of “Stars” from Les Misérables.
