June 28-29  At Sea

Oceania had a flurry of ATW events in the last few days of the cruise.  There was a late evening "Mix and Mingle" with the crew, followed the next morning by a Mimosa Reception.

Just before the Meet and Mingle, Steve and Tricia did their comedy magic show.  It was only about 10 minutes long but quite cute and entertaining.  In my opinion, even though there were probably about 10 different comedy-magician acts that came through the Insignia Lounge during our trip, the two best were the entertainment staff members: Steve and Tricia, and earlier in the cruise Assistant Cruise Director John did a highly alliterative performance.

 Although this looks like the Insignia Table Tennis Team, these were the guys from the laundry.  One of the ATW incentives was free laundry, and the service was excellent.  I'm glad I got a chance to thank them personally

 Mariah, along with Bruce and Cathi.  Tracking Mariah's mood swings was a pleasant occupation for us passengers.

 At the Mimosa party is the Hair, with Erik from the entertainment staff living underneath.  An impressive mating display viewed in the wild.

 Captain Flokos is amused by it all.

 The Captain with Gloria, who had won the Cruise Director for a Day Auction, and was the CD today.

 L-R, Ricardo the ATW Concierge who had Luggage Free on speed dial during the last segment of the cruise, Tricia the ATW Hostess, and Farid the Executive Chef.  Great people, all of them.

 Recognized as the most courageous worldie was Charles, who was traveling alone and recovering from a stroke.  He was slow but methodical and participated in the trip and excursions with the rest of us.

Worldie Pam Kennedy and Bruno, our favorite Maitre'd.
