After dinner with the Hotel Director, the show was, unusually, given by local performers, who sang and danced in local Italian style. An enjoyable experience.
The butler has now introduced herself. She is from Zimbabwe and has just joined the ship. She appears to be suffering from a cold but is soldiering on.
This cruise is intended as a reunion cruise for Venetian Society members, although TSH and Diva have not met any old friends. The legendary Fernando, a one-time cruise director who is spoken of in hushed tones, is onboard. TSH and Diva have never met him before and have still not seen him in action, as he is taking no apparent part in directing the cruise.
Every Venetian Society member has been presented with a beautiful box containing toiletries and a candle. There was also a special event at a Sicilian farm (the Silver Spirit is docked in Palermo), consisting of cookery demonstrations, a puppet show, singers and dancers and a local-style lunch. TSH spotted a couple of raptors during the drive.
Dinner will be a snack affair from Room Service.
