Two
days on this cruise are “sea days”. Those are cruising days, with no
port of call. Sort of relaxation days, although the ship has at least a
dozen things happening at the same time- everything from an art auction
to shopping seminars to disco lessons! And after the storm last night,
a nice quiet day was in order.
Picture a large, down-filled comforter. Take that comforter and soak it in boiling water, then hang it across the doorway … and that’s what it felt like when I walked out on the deck this morning. My glasses fogged up, my camera lens fogged up, I could barely breathe… ack!
After breakfast, the others hit the deck for some sun. No thanks - it was like being boiled alive out there! The humidity was sky-high. So I had a nice relaxing day. Went to a talk about shore leaves, attended a shopping seminar, lounged around various decks (inside), had ice cream, etc. Even took a nap before supper.
In addition to the formal dining rooms with
assigned seating and assigned times, there are many informal eateries on
this ship : a sushi bar, a grill (burgers, fries, chicken tenders,
etc.), a pizzeria, a deli, soft-serve ice cream stations, and a huge
HUGE buffet style restaurant with an amazing spread. Anyone going
hungry on this ship has a problem! LOL! Anyway, we went to supper at
our time (8:15) and it was lovely, as usual. Tonight I had the shrimp
cocktail, baked stuffed mushrooms, and spaghetti carbonara. The left
over wedding cake was brought out for dessert (absolutely delicious
cake!) but after we all had a huge slice, Leslie donated the rest (a
whole layer) to the crew. I did a little shopping on the Promenade
after supper (ordered a customized anklet, which will be ready
tomorrow), and then we went to the “show”. There’s a Vegas style show
every night, and it’s great fun. Tonight was “Living in America” with
salutes to songs about various cities and states … costuming, music and
dancing were great fun. A fast stop in the casino afterwards (I quickly
donated $$ to the slot machine), and I was done. I headed to bed and
left Leslie, Davie, and Rayna in the casino. David had gone to bed long
before. Early day tomorrow - we dock in St Thomas at 8am. YAWN!
