Glenda, our store manager, gets bombarded just before every port. There is one store for clothing items, and this week they were featuring beach towels--great marketing. The store got hit hard at the beginning of the voyage when we all wanted SAS clothing and needed sweatshirts to deal with the air-conditioning.
There is another store just across the hallway that sells supplies--everything from sunscreen to pencils. On the night before a port, these stores are open just so we can stock up on those things like mosquito repellent or a gift for someone we are visiting in a port. When in port, the customs regulations require that the store be closed.
Yesterday was a big exam day, so students were studying away early in the piano lounge. This piano gets a lot of use after classes, and you can hear some really good music coming from our student musicians.
I almost missed this shot. One of the drama classes is studying masks in theatre, and they have been busy creating their own masks and trying them out. The masks free the performer to be whatever they want to be, and we are promised a shipboard performance in the future.
I can see Mauritius as I'm typing this early in the morning, and I can also see rain, so I'm crossing my fingers that it will burn off in the next couple of hours before we port.
