ANZAC Cove was named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp landed there in June, 1915 and undertook the first battle of World War 1. Thousands of lives were lost in this Battle of Gallipoli which lasted an incredible eight months.
In tribute to these soldiers, the ship held an early morning memorial service presided over by Captain William Kent and featured the Sea Princess Pop Choir. It was very, very hot on the deck because we were barely moving and the sun was blazing on us. But our song was lovely and I think both Alan and Alana are thrilled...that it's over! It was stressful for Alan and for the choir too, because we all wanted it to be perfect.
We also sang the Aussie and Kiwi National Anthems and a few other hymns. Then it was laundry day again. Both JMB and me want to have all our clothes clean to travel to Italy on Friday, but to our dismay, all laundries are again CLOSED until tomorrow morning.
Tonight is Jeff's last two shows...they both went on, but show number one was slightly tragic with mic problems and missing props. Show two went very well and Jeff sang his heart out!
We reluctantly missed LOVE THEME ENTERTAINMENT trivia! When we don't make it to trivia or music it seems like something is missing...what happens when we get off the ship?
Tomorrow is our last Sea Day!
