Our post included many photos from the behind the scenes tour of the crew area that Anne Marie went on and some photos from last evening.
Last evening we dined at Prego with Hotel Director Josef and Executive Housekeeper Andre. Dinner was great and so was the conversation. We dined with Josef earlier in the cruise as we have in past years and this was the first time we dined with Andrea so it provided a very nice opportunity to get to know her better.
After dinner, we attended a show with vocalist Jonathan who along with Sarah was brought on to entertain during the entire World Cruise. Jonathan has an amazing voice and the show was a "wow" from start to finish.
As Keith had a haircut appointment already scheduled for today, Anne Marie took the behind the scenes tour by herself of the crew area. This is part of the tradition of the World Cruises where we get to tour the crew only decks. She visited several areas including the officers of many of the officers, the crew mess, the officer mess, the officer bar and lounge, the printing area, the area where provisions are stored, the area where meet is cut, the Chinese Laundry, the area in which equipment is repaired, along with other areas. Guests were taken in small groups.
We have included a couple of photos from the tour.

Crew mess with the photographers having breakfast. Normally, they ask us to pose. This was their chance to pose for Anne Marie.
This afternoon Keith played in the Family Paddle Tennis Tournament. Normally, this is only done during the World Cruise Games but today it was played again so that we all would have opportunities to play with crew members. Usually there are far more crew than guests but today was reverse with many more guests than crew so as some crew members were on losing teams they got a chance to continue playing.

Keith teamed with Crystal Society Hostess Jaque Brown and Food & Beverage Manager Tayfun (pronounced Typhoon) posed for the photo.

Since I have been out of the country on a land trip, I missed several weeks of your posts and have had a great time catching up. Thanks as always for taking the time to share your days on the Serenity.
