Cruise take two

Malaga











The next day we were at sea. We went to seminars, played mini golf, ping pong, and went swimming. It was a great day, but the weather was very cool. At night, we had our first formal dinner, followed by evening entertainment- tonight it was a tribute to some of the great broadway shows like Mama Mia, the Producers, etc.













































On Easter Sunday, we docked in Malaga. We had seen Malaga before, however, I had forgotten its landscape and main features from our last trip over two years ago. We revisited the birthplace of Picasso, Alcazaba Palace, Gibralfaro Castle, and went to Easter Mass at the Malaga Cathedral. We also viewed the Easter Procession, one of the longest in the world. We ate some lunch back on the ship, got the kids, and had a few hours of family time together. At 4:30 there was a family Easter Egg hunt. It turned out to be more of a scavenger hunt covering the entire ship, but still a lot of fun. We had a casual dinner and hit the evening entertainment - a tribute to Franky Valley and the Four Seasons. It was a great show and Sydney really got into it. Sandy was beat so she hit the sack early. I was not tired, so I stayed up and watched the ship pass through the straight of Gibralter, followed by a little gambling in the casino.
