When I first arrived to the Lido Café no passengers were there given the time zone change.. Many passengers who we were sitting with us got a big chuckle from Captain Glenn’s thought of the day including us which was “Always borrow money from a pessimist as they don’t expect it back.” We attended the Rap With The Rabbi Session and we

Last evening we forwarded the clocks one last time for this leg of the World Cruise and by doing so we are now on the local time for Cape Town.. Since I started later than normal there were about ten passengers’ already in the Café.. Captain Glenn also noted that we were traveling at 19.5 knots per hour and that he wanted to increase the speed.. I did some reading and writing and also spoke with a couple of fellow passengers. This evening was formal night on the ship and we dined at the Prego Italian Specialty Restaurant

(Judging from the mail I receive this is a surprisingly common concern among airline passengers.) Now that the press has gotten hold of an incident and made mush out of the facts it's worth revisiting.. So while I wouldn't recommend it unless you enjoy being pummeled and placed in a chokehold by panicked passengers who don't know better a person could conceivably sit there all day tugging on a door handle to his or her heart's content.. The door is not going to open - though you might get a red light flashing in the cockpit causing the captain to spill his Diet Coke
