Caribbean Cruise 2002:
Day 6 - At Sea

Thursday, December 12, 2002: We spent a particularly lazy day at sea, circling around the north side of Cuba as we headed toward the Florida Keys. We soaked up the sun on our balcony, venturing out of our room only to eat. Our butler also brought us fresh fruit in the morning, pastries in the afternoon and hors d'oevres before dinner. To misquote Jeff Spicoli, we were "looking at Cuba and eating some food."

It was another formal night on the ship, so we found ourselves looking mighty fine at dinner time. We thought we'd share our fineness with the folks back home, so we sent an electronic postcard from the ship.

Here's the other half of it.

Here's Tom at dinner, with our most excellent assistant waiter, Menino, visible in the background.

Here's Debbie at dinner. Not pictured: Juan, our beverage waiter, whose resemblance to a certain action star caused us to nickname him "Juan Claude Van Damme." We were shocked to see him on shore the next day with an identical twin brother.

Oh! It's the parade of the Baked Alaskas! Our waiter, Arif, has a bad case of red eye in this dark photo, but he did a fabulous job of bringing the tasty dessert to our table.

Next, we were off to bed to get some rest because the next day is...
