We finished Monday evening dinner at the Summer Palace, inspired by the décor of the 19th century palaces of the Czars, and then attended an entertaining dance program featuring two gymnasts who performed with the dance troupe we saw last cruise, this time in geisha costumes.
We had heard at dinner of an evacuation by helicopter of one of our passengers planned for 8 PM, so we went out on the deck to see what we could – not really much at all, since most of the front section of the ship had been cordoned off. We did hear the helicopter hovering, though, three separate times. We imagined the rescue basket being dropped, loaded and lifted to the craft above.
The operation seemed to go off without a hitch, and we soon saw the helicopter flying under a full moon toward the coast. No more news yet, but it seemed like a very unfortunate start to a vacation.
