Sunday: We finally get to meet our Canadian roommate, Diana. Fun to finally see her in person after corresponding via e-mail for months.
Tacky tourist gear is encouraged, so we get into the spirit of things. We're nowhere near being the tackiest, but make a good show of it. BNL's Ed says "It just got more colorful" when he sees us.
The host / headlining band is the Barenaked Ladies. All of the guys mingle with the crowd as we wait in line to complete our paperwork before boarding. Diana's superior knowledge of Canadian band members is useful: Me: (whispering) "Which one is that?"
D: "That's Jim, the bass player."
Me: "Hi Jim. Yes, we're looking forward to see BNL play."
Eventually, we board the Carnival Victory and make our way up to the Lido deck in search of the lunch buffet, after purchasing potent fruity umbrella drink. As we dine...
Members of BNL and other as yet unidentified musicians are seated nearby. Me: "Is that Ed?
D: No
Steve?
No, Tyler.
Just as we start to wonder about the boys in GBS... Alan and Murray walk by.
This is most definitely not going to be a normal cruise.
