The big event of our day today, was our attendance at a Murder Mystery Dinner in The Pinnacle Restaurant. These events are sold our on day 1 of the cruise and we had booked 1 this time, as we did enjoy the 2 we attended last year. But one is enough. Bruce Scudder our Cruise Director writes the scripts, and plays a prominent role. The theme was Amsterdale High School Reunion. The murder took place in the kitchen just as we started the evening. We met all the cast of characters at the pre-dinner cocktail party, and our foursome also came in character. We were : Paige Turner (me) who is writing her latest book "As the Ship Turns", my husband Cal Culator, who makes sure I "turn" a profit on my books, Isabella Ringing (Karen), and Helen Wheels (Leslie). About 65 people attend plus the cast, and the entire evening is fun - as the script is extremely well done. In fact we think it is the only comedy aboard that treats us like we are adults, instead of the PG Rated comedians at the shows.
The meal was Beef Carpaccio, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Lobster Salad, and Beef Filet and Shrimp, and Death by Chocolate, plus champagne, white wine, red wine and port. No wonder it's fun. I want to underline that in spite of the variety, the portion sizes are small and perfect - except when it comes to the wines!
On to Adelaide.
