For many of our fellow passengers, today would be their next to last day on the ship and the daily schedule was filled with activities. Besides our morning devotional time with Father Robert, the Chief Engineer, Tom Mahon, gave a virtual tour of the engine room to a packed Wajang theater (usually this presentation is given in the Showroom at Sea but it was being used by a Mariner's award ceremony) I found the most interesting statistic to be that the ship gets 62 feet to the gallon of fuel!
We went to the awards ceremony and the luncheon that followed. Following a mile walking the deck, one o'clock found us back in the Showroom for 3 straight sessions. Sandra Millikin presented an architectural history of Melbourne, Barry Dreyer presented on the Japanese mini-sub attack on Sydney in WWII, and the cast of singers and dancers fielded questions from the audience. This group will be on the Maasdam until November 18 until
It was the last gala night and the surf and turf was good and the fast main dining room service continued. The cast presented 'Classique' which is a favorite of ours and we've seen other versions of it on other HAL ships. We ended our night watching the movie 'Comedy loves Misery' rather than attend the final Captain's Ball.
