Marcie's Big Adventure - Day 8/Sea Day

---

Hi Everyone,

Hard to believe that today is the start of the second week of the cruise. Am in a nice routine of having a totally leisurely day, every day. Lots of reading and people watching. Am going to the discussions on the different ports that we will be stopping at. In order:

Cork, Ireland - excursion is to the Jameson Whiskey distillery

St Peter Port, Guernsey - excursion is around (and under) the island. Germany occupied this island from 1940-1945 and apparently built a lot of tunnels/hospital/etc underground

La Havre, France - excursion to Omaha Beach

Dover, England - excursion to Leeds Castle and Canterbury

Once we start hitting these ports, I'll be up and out of the cabin by 7 AM. That will be a shock to my system - and my cabin stewards!

The entertainment was the female singer from before, who has a great voice, and the dancers that are in all the musical shows this sailing. It was a tribute to the women icons in music. Although I did not recognize too many of the women whose song she sang or the songs she sang themselves, it was still a nice show. I was expecting singers like, Dolly, Cher, Barbra, Whitney, Beyonce, Taylor but none of them were included. I didn't know that Ann Margaret was known for being an icon in music but she was one tonight!

Went back to the cabin after the show and finished my second book. Another great day! Hugs
