It was a fun night on the ship tonight. A group sponsored by Grant Thorton planned 500 guests - and over 700 showed up ! They had a big band, stage, and dance floor set up on the flight deck and they had a ball.

I stood watch in the island - they gave me the Chart House (the coolest place on the ship) to guide the guests through. It was a moving line - so the stories had to be shorter, but they were all in good spirits. It was fun pointing out the Fox Trot Russian Submarine a few piers over and calling out "General Quarters - man your battle stations !"

Night events are fun - no doubt about it.
