Day 8
Lunar New Year
January 22, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
Some refer to it as Lunar...others Chinese...others Asian. What ever you call it, the food was DELICIOUS!

I promised that I would NOT become one of those blogs where I post what I ate each day … because no one cares, BUT I did have to show you a few of the delectable from Chinese New Year.

And Karen's favorite - the famous Bounty Cake made with coconut, chocolate chips and vanilla! (last photo)Read more

Day 8
The Ship!
January 22, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
The Insignia was built in 1998 and totally refurbished in 2018. It holds 684 passengers. Currently there are 394 passengers going ATW plus about 200 that are getting off in Chile. There are 403 crew from 52 countries (ratio of 1.5:1)! It has 11 decks (although all there is to do on the top deck is mini-golf, shuffle board, corn hole, and ping pong. I have not improved even though I’ve played all of them almost every day (very competitive)… I may have to go back to pickleball).

Insignia length is 593.7’, beam 83.5, draft 19.5’, gross tonnage 30,277 (before Bruce), and max speed 18 knots (let me know if you want to know more about the propulsion, bow thrusters, stabilizers or number drinks I have per day).

Most days we go about 16 knots but “what’s the rush”?Read more
Traveler From Blogger - was told by a ship engineer that the ships tries to go a slow as it can to each port and not as fast as it can, to save fuel. Love reading your posts (Anonymous)
