We're on the water all day, moving from the Ohio River into the Mississippi River and turning north.

At 0615, it’s 69 on the Mississippi River. After breakfast, I printed our boarding passes. At 1030, we had a ceremony in the Magnolia Lounge celebrating the servicemen and women, some of whom went back to the Korean War. At lunch, we both had an excellent Cream of Asparagus Soup with crab meat followed by the Maine Lobster Cobb Salad with hard-cooked egg, bleu cheese, bacon, avocado, red onion and green goddess dressing. In the afternoon we both had naps and I assisted several other passengers in printing their boarding passes. We skipped cocktails before dinner. We both started with the French Onion Soup with Gruyere Cheese Crostini and then moved to the Shrimp and Crab-stuffed Baked Lobster Tail with drawn butter, rice pilaf and vegetable medley. At 2100, it’s 72.
