Rockin' and a Rollin'

January 17, Day 13 at Sea

The ship is still rocking and rolling and I am still feeling a bit qoozy.  However, the show must go on.  This morning—all mornings, actually, we are treated to birds singing in the main dining room.   A recording, but very realistic. It’s always pleasant in the formal dining room. We eat most of our meals there.  At the moment I am on Lido deck working on my power point. 

Things are a bit different today. We’ve been told that there is a virus on board that is spreading.  Not a lot of cases yet, but they are not taking chances.  We have to use a lot of anti-bacterial lotion and not touch anything. No shaking hands and no dancing with strangers. J  The dance escorts on board are on standby and not allowed to dance with the ladies.  I’m tickled with the adjustments people have made and the good naturedness.  Instead of shaking hands many have taken to touching elbows. It’s as if touch is still very important.  Long time cruisers take these things in stride. 

I’ve noticed a lot of people are using their e-readers. Some however are reading real books.  Because of the sanitation rules, all books in the library are locked up.   If you want a book, the librarian will get it for you and when you return a book it gets sanitized. How does one sanitize a book? 

It’s evening now and my class went very well.  My title was Let’s Get Ideas.
