I Love SEA DAYS! These 7 have gone by in a flash!

There is so much to do on the ship! Have played a ton of pickleball, then typically plunge into pool (some days right in my pickleball clothes)! It has been scorching hot while playing pickleball, only part of one court has a bit of sun screening.


We did a cabin crawl of 11 different residents' cabins that showed off their creative decorating and storage ideas. I was part of Gold team and we had to dress up in gold to compete against the blue, green and yellow teams. I borrowed a gold crown and shirt from my neighbors Angel & Kenny and Gold team won!!

Victorius Gold Team - from left Becky & Jeff, Melody & John (who supplied a lot of clothing to group), Shirene, Steve & Debbie, Me ,

Donna, Cindy, Anna & Jimbo. Some really creative residents and lots of ideas to steal for storage and ambiance.


Another day I took a linen napkin folding class, was fun to see how many I remembered from my catering days and working at Flanders Hotel!

    Amazing how many came back to me - muscle memory - used to crank out hundreds of these at FLANDERS!

Have time to goof around with friends! Scott demonstrating pool snorkeling, to swim laps in our tiny pools! They brought a comedian from the UK on the ship - he has done 3 shows - mixed reviews! And some talented crew & residents put on a talent show last night.

Below is song the Odyssey Choir sang that got a lot of cheers.

A bunch of things happening, despite not stepping on terra firm, the last 5 days! We crossed the international date line last night and lost the entire day of January 25th! So Weird! We are now 18 hours ahead of my friends and family on the east coast of USA.

I write this post with a heavy heart, tragedy has struck our happy Community. One of our much loved, founding residents had a heart attack and sadly didn't recover, as we sailed to Moorea.

PAPEETE - NIGHT LIFE- BACHLORETTE PARTY

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!
