New Year's Eve at Sea

The sea is very gray and the waves are rolling. The wind is whistling. The captain says there is a low pressure nearby. The great hopes are that the New Year's celebration job can be on deck tonight....but it doesn't seem possible.

Our cabin- 7035- is very comfortable. We have a TV and a DVD player in the cabinet behind Jim. There is also a safe and storage there. There is a double closet behind Jim near the front door to the cabin. I think this cabin has slightly less than 300 square feet.

The bed is a king sized one that could be made into twin beds. The mattress is very comfortable. Cruise ship beds have come a long way from the platform,hard things in our earlier days of cruising. The sheets and duvet are soft,  Egyptian cotton. Olga is our Cabin Attendant and she does a great job keeping us neat and tidy.

The other day we had a cricket in the cabin and Olga was frightened. Jim got the bug to go outside. Today we had a tiny bird on the balcony but it kept moving along from balcony to balcony.

The other end of the cabin has a desk with storage and a small refrigerator, a sofa and a small table. Out the door on that end is our balcony with two chairs and a table. Makes for a great place to read and watch the sea go by.

Many special events are planned for today. By the time our family and friends are saying "happy new year" to each other we will be fast asleep in 2008. But we both send you greetings for a terrific 2008 and much love.
