The gigantic Emerald Princess sailed 15 minutes late due to 6 of its passengers not showing up. They never did, and the captain decided to leave them in Granada. At "sold out" with over 3,000 happy folks onboard, the percentage they were left would have been about 12% of a person on Silver Cloud. The Emerald backed out of the slip with a crewman in a forward latch waving a man sized signboard hand. I suggested that we moon them. I almost had that going.
The "build a ship" competition on Silver Cloud occured at 5 pm. Three of our jadded guests built floatable structures that were judged on design and ability to hold a maximum number of soda cans. This is not a typical Silversea activity, but it does show some very innovative skills of some of the guests. The judges were the Hotel Director (the big boss of our ship), a distingued professional engineer from England, and guess who. I offered to take bribes while the others looked unhappy that they had not thought of it frist.
I'm packed and ready for an apple martini, a new found treat.
More tomorrow while I'm waiting for disembarkation
