The weather was still bad, and the captain gave us all a weather presentation in the Neptune Lounge at 1300 to tell us his plans. We both went to the Seabirds Cry at 1000 and then I dashed off to the Qigong Shibashi Workshop which was by Susan Deacon (who ran the drama group yesterday).
We then went to the weather presentation, which showed that we are running a similar course to Saga and another cruise company. We may also hit another difficult rough period nearer St Johns. We are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday at 1830 but cannot get dock clearance, and so we are now to dock at 1830 am on Wednesday. We went to the Captain's Cocktail Party followed by the formal dinner. We had a great time and enjoyed the evening and only left the table at 2215. We went to Showtime by Cheryl Forbes, who has a tremendous voice. She has performd in opera at he Royal Opera House, at jazz venues, and on radio & TV.
