Christmas Day

We had a wonderful and most unusual day on board the Nautica. We went to The Grand Brunch at about 10:00 The Dining Room was really festive. The food ranged from traditional breakfast eggs, omelets, waffles...to reubens and other sandwiches....to real meals of ham and turkey. We ate a yummy breakfast. 

We sat on the deck and enjoyed the breeze as we cruised along. I watched a really good movie Amazing Grace about William Wilberforce the Member of Parliament who worked hard to abolish slavery in England. Just nice to be relaxed.

We played a little Team Trivia in the afternoon, dressed for dinner and went to the Nautica Lounge to dance and hear the 4 musicians do some vocal numbers with the orchestra. It was wonderful. 

We went to dinner and then returned for the evening show The Magic of Christmas.  The show featured Ray- the cruise director- Margaret- the Assistant Cruise Director who grew up in York, SC- and the other 3 singers- Heather, Michael and Bryan. They did a clever presentation of the 12 Days with  the 4 singers and Ray as "Emily" the person who got the gifts. Her "thanks" got less and less thankful as the livestock began to grow in size.

At the end some of the staff dressed like St. Lucia came in all dressed in white and singing. Then more crew and staff came with candles singing "Silent Night." It was beautiful.

 

We then went to the Martini Bar and joined a Christmas Sing-a-long. The place was packed and we had great fun singing to lovely piano playing. 

We truly a Christmas to remind us of the great gift from God bringing light, life and peace to the earth.
