Around the Horn

Day 44: At Sea

Another beautiful sunny day off the coast of Mexico. Another Team Trivia challenge, and then a very important event....the "Finish Your Cabin Liquour" afternoon party in the Royal Family Suite, or the Diva Suite as it has been dubbed. It was designated "BYOIB" or Bring Your Own Ice Bucket", and was widely attended by many happy Hornblowers. Carol ordered snacks from room service and many new and inventive drinks were poured i.e. Mango vodka mixed with Champagne, and Pears vodka with Crystal Light Raspberry Ice. At 3:30 we trooped off to the Lotus Lounge to cheer on our own Doris (or Dorass as she prefers to be called) in the Passenger Talent Show. Doris was a smash hit with the audience as she told many of her favourite jokes.

In a surprising turn of events, several other Hornblowers were recruited to do an alleged 'dance number' and a "New York, New York" kickline (yours truly included). No doubt the aforementioned Suite party played a role in that particular fiasco.

This was the third and final formal night of the last leg, and for the last time the Hornblowers donned their finest and hit the pubs, clubs and bars for late-night music and drinks.

Tomorrow: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
