Day 5
After enjoying the sites and sounds and gelato of Sorrento, early in the morning, we drove to Rome to embark the Navigator of the Seas for our cruise. We got off the freeway to view the Rome, Italy LDS Temple in the building phase. It was great to see and recognize the rounded sides from the pictures. It's going to be a huge complex with offices and a mission home.

Martin dropped us off at the ship and met us a few hours later after returning the car and taking a taxi to the dock. The ship is HUGE.

Our room was lovely and it was fun seeing Karl and Cherie's reaction to it. The rooms were larger and more comfortable than we expected. We had balconies and enjoyed watching the land drift away as we went out to sea.
The biggest shock was the FOOD! It is everywhere and constantly available, and it looks and tastes delicious. We found our assigned table for dinner in the evening and met our table mates. They were a wonderful group. Perry, or PJ and Joan from Tennessee, and Julie and her mother, Edie, from Buffalo, New York. We were pleasantly surprised to find that coincidentally, none of the eight of us drink and only one, Joan, had coffee. Our waiter, Juan, and his assistant Naaman, were visibly disappointed. NO TIPS for drinks. JP owns several grocery stores and Julie is a Psychologist. Julie and Edie are Jewish and are hilarious! Joan is a proper Southern Belle.

After dinner, we caught the end of a variety show in the theater with a juggler and two acrobats. LOVED the acrobats.
You played shuffle board?? Who are you?
