Return to the Sargasso Sea

---

Morning found Carnival Legend at sea. The Sargasso Sea to be exact. That stretch between North America and Bermuda. We played United States Trivia, which we did well at, but did not win. Enjoying our cabin balcony, we watched clumps of sargassum float by, flying fish take to the air and ships pass on the horizon.

The evening was Formal Night, or Cruise Elegant as it is now known. Susan and I first took in the evening show, Motor City, and that was enjoyable with its Motown music retrospective. Dinner was Roast Beef. Surprise dining room entertainment appear nightly, with a singing waiter and the entire service staff sometimes oining in.

Cruise lines today take two leisurely sea days to reach Bermuda. (In the era of ocean travel, Furness Bermuda Lines ships were intent on getting there and took one sea day.) On the next morning at sea breakfast at the Seaday Brunch was called for. Actor’s Trash Trivia followed soon after. (One had to guess the actor by the implements they used in films.) There was time for reading in the quiet Enchanted Forest area of the ship. I had resolved to start reading Moby Dick, and so I did.

Lunch was very good at Bonsai Sushi. Miso soup along with a bento box of Japanese salad with a California Roll and Salmon and Tuna sushi was one of the best lunches I’ve had on a cruise ship.

The second evening production show was The Brits featuring music of the 1960s British Invasion era. Dinner was Linguini with Italian Sausage.
