Queen Mary 2: Days 5-6

Yesterday was a very busy day at sea indeed. I started out by getting Breakfast in bed, proceed by several hours of relaxing in the Sun . The Royal Court Theater was putting on a play (The Taming of the Shrew) which I decided to attend. The actors were very talented in my opinion, I really enjoyed myself! Next on ,y list was the spa! I went in, got a rejuvenating Swedish massage! The blissful aroma of sweet flower blossoms permeated through the air, ensuring one to experience a peaceful time. After that I went into the Spa hot tub which had water streaming in from the ceiling! It was wonderful! To be honest though, the price was a bit to much for my taste. In the states, I got a massage that was twice as good for less then a quarter the price. So if you ever come on the Queen Mary 2, I would say go for the cheaper massage that’s only 50 minutes instead of the 80 minute one that I got. It was still worth it though!!! Afterwards I relaxed some more, and later on in the evening I went to dinner. The old man from NYC came and so did the Canadian. When Mr. Crazy came, he gave me some advice on how to make money. Buy houses cheap and keep them for a long time. There value will increase a very large amount over the years. He also appears to like making up0 nicknames for people. As you may have read earlier, he calls me Princess. When the other old man showed, the Canadian shouted out, “How ya doin Captain?”
“Im doing well he replied.” That was followed by a quick “Yee-haw” and a short titer giggle afterwards! After dinner I went and heard Anthony Loyed sing . He is a Welsh singer who in sailing back to the UK. He sang “Edelweiss” which was really well done!

The following day June 12, 2010, I was not as busy as the day before. I started by going to Kings Court for my morning breakfast which was shortly followed by going out on the promenade and laying in the sun on the Promenade. Not long before noon, the watch officer on duty came over the loud speakers and announced that a school of dolphins was passing along the Port side of the ship! Everyone rushed up to catch a glimpse of the lovely little ocean dwellers jump from the waters of the deep blue sea! Their must have been 50 dolphins, it could have easily been more. It was a very neat experience, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a picture because my good Canon Camera was all the way down in my stateroom. Had I gone to get it, the dolphin colony would have been long gone. They were really sweet though, small little pitet animals frolicking and swimming thought the waters. Later on I saw an bird! I have no idea how they survive all the way out here in the Atlantic Ocean. When the captain came over the loud speakers, the Commodore gave up a daily report from the bridge. Apparently the waters are so calm right now that he is surprised he is actually in the Atlantic. The water today looked like a lake it was so still. Well, later on, I went to Illuminations and saw watched the England vs. United States of America world cup soccer game. As you all well know, I do not follow sport, nor particularly care about them, but it was starting to cool down significantly on deck by the water, and their were no shows or movie going on, that I decided to go watch the sports game anyway. A majority of the population of this ship are either English or American. That made the came quit funny, because every time the English scores (or for that matter tried to score and missed) all the English cheered. The same was true for them the Americans scored. It was quite humorous to watch. Eventually I got bored of it an went to dinner! Mr. Crazy greeted us asked us a quiz question. “What’s the worst part about dying?” neither I nor the man from Ney York understood the question. To us, dying in itself is horrible. He continued to tell us that all three of his previous wives had died…“All of lead poisoning! Now aint that a coincidence Princess? Yee-Haw (giggle giggle)!” He sure is a strange character…there are no other ways to describe him. Tonight, as both waiters walked by, they gave out a loud “Yee-Haw” when walking past him. He sometimes asks the waiters random questions, so they just smile, laugh, and walk away! I find that to be very funny because they obviously don’t know what he’s talking about. Every night he told us about his house is Majorca Spain, and asked where we were headed off too. I think he may be a little senile. He told us that he now wants to go hang gliding. I don’t know if that’s the same as paragliding, but from the sound of it, I think it’s a bit more dangerous! After that I went and saw the Cunard dancers perform. Its really impressive as to how talented they are.
