We borded the MS Amsterdam the afternoon of January 5th and settled into our home for the next four months – a large stateroom with an ocean view. The Captain hosted a Bon Voyage Sailaway Fest to celebrate the beginning of the 2016 Grand World Voyage. The party included complimentary drinks, gourmet snacks and live music. The Lido Deck, where the swimming pool is located, was festooned with decorative flags.
Thus began three days of teaching duplicate bridge and directing games. The lessons include one hour of beginning bridge and one hour of intermediate to advanced bridge. There are 40-45 participants for the lectures and 15 tables of bridge each day. Quite a challange to setup and play 7-8 rounds in two hours time.
