Sun - Tues, October 26-28, 2025 - Photos, Part III

And the photos keep coming!  These are photos from Tuesday's day at sea.
Typical ship hallway.  Except - as in the cabins, they have great lighting that changes often.
To purple, for example.
A couple of people have decorated their doors.  But only a couple.
Free candy!
Art on the ship.
The Red Room is the main theater.
Women have feathers for brains?
It's convenient that they have condiments out on the tables all day but, mayo?
I'd rather be on a big ship.
They cleaned the balconies and windows in Valencia.  And hooked up my hammock.
Holy moly!  $200?  I took the free "behind the scenes" tour for granted on Holland America.
In the Red Room.
I went to a lecture.
He seemed very nice.
This is the hallway to The Manor, another entertainment venue.  
A man walked in front of me, which gives a bit of perspective of the hallway.
There was a dance class in The Manor when I peeked in.
More outdoor seating options.
Seating for the Sun Club Cafe which has bowls, bao and dips.
There was a large, muscular man at the table next to me.  He ate all these bowls.  In one sitting.  
After the lecture, I took a jacket and went back to the Red Room for Bingo with the Diva (and Chris).  I didn't win but had a great time.
I ended up sitting with four Brits, who were hilarious.  One of them won the $1400 jackpot!
There was a large, enthusiastic crowd.
That's The Diva, Aria.  She performed, she sashayed, she entertained.  She was fabulous and I'd love to see how she puts on the eyelashes.
How do photos get out of sequence when I download them in sequence?  A geezer problem.  Anyway - this was my lunch at Sun Club Cafe - short rib bao and devilishly good sweet, spicy popcorn.  Bao were ok, popcorn was OMG good.  And, spicy!
I'll be going back for the popcorn.  I'm guessing it's made like caramel corn but instead of carmelizing the sugar, they added siracha and poured it over the popcorn.
Have I mentioned the hammock?
This was hilarious.  I tried taking a selfie, using the reflection in the window.
Makes me want to buy insurance.  That's a reference to Prudential and the Rock of Gibraltar.
I had a family style Korean dinner at Gunbae (which means Cheers!) We started with banchan - savory/sweet/spicy/tasty.
Then, a salad of roasted veggies and avocado with a spicy dressing.
Korean chicken nuggets and squares of Asian radish.  One of my favorites.
I liked everything and this seafood pancake was also a favorite.
Then, a bowl of amazing short ribs.
Did I mention these were just the appetizers?  And, while family style, each of the dishes was just my portion!
Sauces and dried soy powder for the main course.
Then came the grilled shrimp that were prepared on the grill in the table.
We were encouraged to wrap the shrimp in lettuce and use the sauces.  Tasty.

There were also grilled veggies.  And that's the raw beef, waiting to be cooked.
Now it's cooking.  We also had white rice, brown rice and fried kimchi rice.
A very unflattering photo of the very delicious pork belly.
Pork belly!
Dessert was swirled black sesame/rice soft serve ice cream with mochi candies.
And some sort of dessert pancake.  Perhaps red bean paste?  I was so full, I thought I'd need help waddling back to my cabin.
