Today is a sea day as the ship
makes its way to Key West.
I started out my day by seeing a
movie in the ship’s screening room. “Denial” is about a professor from Atlanta
who is sued for slander, and she must prove that the Holocaust did occur in the
British court system. It was great, and
it was a movie not readily available in all theater locations earlier this
year.
However, the best cinematic event was last night. Holland America partners with many groups
(e.g., Microsoft, America’s Test Kitchens), and one of the latest partnerships
is with the BBC. Last night was the “Frozen
Planet” live musical and cinematic presentation. For about an hour, the guests saw scenes from
America’s last wilderness (Arctic and the Antarctic) on a gigantic HD/LED screen and the ship’s orchestra played live music to the
visual presentation. It was
spectacular.
I think I’ll relax this afternoon!
