     You will notice that we covered a lot of distance and we also had a number of sea days on the ship. We were always busy and we had the choice to participate in a group activity or just sit back and read or nap or whatever we wished to do.

     Along with the newsletter, some evenings we were greeted in our cabin by a towel creature. Here are some of them:

  

The Cool Dog

The Lounging Rabbit

The Swan

The Bull Frog

The Gorilla

Another Dog

The Elephant

A Stingray

The Stingray moves to the couch. 

       It was exciting to see what would appear in our room next and yes, they did offer one session on how to make their towel creatures but we were just too busy to attend. The evening would be complete if the creatures came with a chocolate on our pillow but alas it did not.
