7/4/09: Day 251: Sea Day

Happy America!

This morning and beyond is our final day on the ship. This means we have to go through various departments to get things signed off…returning our safety card, settling our bill, etc.

But the real gem was around 9:20 this morning. ESPN and BBC News are right next to each other channel-wise. 31 and 32. We got to 31 first and were watching a hot dog eating contest…with Kobayashi and others. It was gross (or G-Ross) to watch. When we changed channels to 32 it was about refugees starving. America!

At this point I know I have been keeping things secretive about our guest on the ship. A celebrity who rented out the entire ship for two weeks. What I CAN tell you is that rumors were flying like crazy about who all would be coming on the ship as guest entertainment. Because of the “pull” of the person renting the ship, the rumors seemed feasible. Here are the entertainers that the inner-ship gossip circle reported would be gracing our ship with performances: Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Mary J. Blige, and Beyonce. Yes, all of these celebrities were supposedly going to be performing on the ship for the lucky passengers.

Nope.

We did see a laser show on the fourth though. Not like laser Floyd or anything, but nice to have some sort of fancy light thing.
