November 3, 2014 - Welcome Back

At Sea

Another warm sunny day, with some clouds in the afternoon. The Captain says it will get rougher tonight as we approach a low pressure area.

I went to the book club to discuss The Rosie Project. I really enjoyed the book. It was interesting, and also quite funny. Ken went to a lecture on the convoy that saved Malta: Operation Pedestal 1942.
We went to the Pub Lunch and then spent the afternoon reading, enjoying the sun, and putzing around.

We were invited to the 5:15 Captain's Circle Cocktail Party tonight. We went down a few minutes before 5:15 and the line went all the way back to the Explorer's Lounge. By the time we got into the room there were no seats and very few places to stand, yet people were continuing to stream in. There didn't appear to be any crew members taking an interest in the situation, so we decided to leave. On the way out we saw the Captain's Circle host, Jeff. I told him that he had invited way too many eople and there were no seats left. He laughed and said something nonresponsive like "There are a lot of parties." 

Big fail, Jeff. Big fail, Princess. If there are too many people, you need to have more parties. It's not that hard. Don't take the lazy way out and hope that people won't show up. This is not how I want to be welcomed back. Grrrr.
