Today was our first day at sea. We started the day off with Jonathan Butler's Gospel show which we had missed in previous years. It was a cross between a concert and worship.

Next was the annual T-shirt party by the lido pool. T-shirts required and free drinks abound. Mindi Abair was rockin' out in her own SJC shirt. Afterwards Anikka needed a nap.... Jason made the rounds to some of the smaller events such as the Keyboard panel (Keiko Matsui, Brian Simpson, Ricky Peterson and Brian Culbertson) ping pong tournament and of course cocktails with the lovely Candy Dulfer.

The main this evening were Keiko Matsui and Marcus Miller followed by the comedian Alonzo Bodden. Alonzo's been part of the Smooth Jazz Cruise for many years and is a great addition to the entertainment lineup.
