Devil’s Island, French Guiana



Monday, January 10
Devil’s Island, French Guiana
We had been asked by the Captain to deliver a narration from the Bridge as Pacific Princess circled the Salvation Islands, of which Devil’s Island is a member.  We had not been asked to take on this task when we first signed on for the cruise, but agreed to take the responsibility for the benefit of the passengers.
We were well prepared to begin our program at 9:30 am.  While getting ready to leave our stateroom at 9:10, we received a call from the Cruise Director telling us that there was only space for one person on the bridge.  You can imagine how much this shocked us, since both of us did the narration on the southbound cruise!
With just a minute to decide, Donna volunteered to do it. Her narration was fed into the outside decks, the Pacific Lounge and stateroom televisions during the 90 minutes the ship circled the islands.  Donna received accolades from the Hotel Director and our fellow guests. 
Tonight’s show by comedian-musician Dan Riley was fantastic.  We really enjoyed it.
Our ship is now pitching and rolling considerable and, consequently, dancing in the Pacific Lounge is quite challenging.
We turned in with smiles on our faces and ready for our next sea day.
