SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2013

I had to perform weekly cabin inspections, immediately followed by tech. run-through for BOLLYWOOD, so Mom & Dad were on their own this morning.  Clearly, they do just fine without me, as they won at the final bingo game!  They had to split the pot with another winner, but it was about $250 each, so they were definitely winners!

We played dominoes again today, and spent most of the afternoon together, after my rehearsal.  Candi joined us for dinner at Bamboo, the Asian restaurant.  It was supposed to be our treat, but she generously picked up the tab.  She’s so amazing.  I’m going to miss her when she leaves on February 10th.  I’m so glad that Mom & Dad had an opportunity to meet her though.

Mom & Dad watched the 7:15pm performance of BOLLYWOOD, then went to Gatsby’s lounge to hear Ruby, one of the cruise staff members, sing Broadway tunes, along with Ariel Jacobe, one of our principal musicians.  I joined them for the last few minutes, and then headed back to work as they went to pack and hit the sack early.  They did pop into the office before retiring to their cabin, and took a picture of Dan and I.  Mom said they had one of their ship "daughter-in-law," so they needed one of their ship "son-in-law."
