Harold King is aboard as a guest lecturer and has agreed to give hour-long courses. I am as happy as a pig in mud! He is brilliant, demanding and loads of fun. There are so many people who come to the class that he has to separate us into 3 groups. After that, an hour of line dancing, then 45 minutes of ballroom dancing lessons, all before lunch. What was that about "happy as a .....".
An amazing adventure, also this morning. The ship lost all power - the lights went out, the emergency lights came on, the ship began to slow down and the Commodore, who was in the middle of an interview, came on to explain what had happened and what was being done. It only lasted for about 10 minutes but several people went back to their cabins to secure their valuables (there is a safe in each cabin which can be programmed with a code or the room key card)and one woman got her life jacket.
It was more annoying than anything else as we were practicing with Harold at the time.
Now, it's 9 pm and the dance in the ballroom will begin in about 45 minutes. VIBZ, the group from St. Lucia, will perform so "it's party time". We have had to set the clocks ahead several days in a row and the lack of sleep is beginning to get to me but my motto is, if you get the chance, dance.
