Ten Days and Five Ports in Chile -- Day four: At sea January 22, 2016


Tonight was the gala Black & White Ball, during which all the ship’s officers danced with the guests. We had dinner with our friends from the World Cruise – Chicagoans Bob and Toya – where we enjoyed the first of our Chilean wines, as well as a bottle of champagne.



Our cruise director – a delightful Australian woman named Tam – is an excellent singer who performed with our equally excellent Philippine band. Speaking of Tam, her husband and 3-year-old daughter are aboard. We have dubbed her daughter “Little Miss Prinsendam.” She is a delight and brings smiles to everyone’s faces where ever she goes.


Also worthy of mention are the three (so far) special wine dinners – six-course meals with paired wines – we have attended. The first was a special Cellar Master dinner for which our cellar master, Neil, chose both the menu as well as the wines. The second was a Peruvian dinner with wines, and most recently a Pinnacle Chef’s dinner which featured the most delicious dessert I have ever tasted. On the 25th we are looking forward to a Chilean dinner with wines.
