Today I attended the culinary demonstration. Our Maitre D', Executive Chef and Pastry Chef put on a nice show. They were pretty funny. Who knew? We then had a brief galley tour. The galley is on two floors with an escalator for coming up but stairs for going down. They keep a very clean galley.
I also went to the Engineer's get together. They didn't have any ship's engineering personnel to answer the many questions which was disappointing.
Due to an excessively long time in the laundry room I missed the 4th and final espionage talk which I heard was good. I will try to catch it on TV.
Tonight was a formal night. The staff did the baked Alaska parade as well as a parade by the kitchen staff. Both were to vigorous applause.

Glad you did the galley tour. We did the same thing and would like to do it on a big ship. Did they cook for two couples and do the tast test. Your reports are just great. Hope you can get to see the bridge also.
Hi again! You must be relieved to be close to hitting land again and stretching your legs ashore. Couple of questions; a) What is the attraction of Burnie as a port? and b) You mention the latest formal night. How many do you have on this cruise and how do you manage to have enough dresses?? (For us men it's just getting the white shirts dry cleaned!.
Fascinating to share this cruise with you, so keep the postings coming. Best Wishes David
Chet, yes we had the food tasting routine.
David, I think we have only 9 formal nights for the entire 107 days. I brought 3 formal gowns and plan to wear each one 3 times. I wore each one once on this segment. The attraction of Burnie was that it is in Tasmania which is not a place that one from the USA would tend to get to. On a cruise such as this it was not one of the major ports like Easter Island or Egypt but certainly added to the allure of the total package.
