If it’s Wednesday, this must be Jamaica...
What a nasty looking island.... I guess that made sail away more pleasant (lemonade from lemons?)...
I had a message waiting on the phone from Pinnacle Maitre’D, asking if we remembered about our reservation for tonight – I told him, “No, it was for Thursday night.” “No, it was for tonight...” again I told him it was for Thursday and gave the reasons... he said he’d see if it was possible and get back with me. I haven’t heard, so guess the 10 of us will just show up at 8:30 for dinner. I also have to try to arrange for a little wine-get-together before dinner. Then I need to copy 16 CDs full of photos for the Thule Group, download new photos from the cruise, try to smuggle on some booze for the Saturday party, get with the concierge for Saturday – wait – this is turning into work!!! Pout...
Dinner didn’t seem that appealing either, so I opted for Pizza in the Lido. The rest of the evening was uneventful – a little disco, a little Crow’s Nest, a little sleep...
Thursday – Grand Cayman Island – SIX ships anchored next to us – 2 Royal Caribbean, 2 Carnivore, 1 Princess, 1 smaller (Seabourn?), and us – I’m NOT going to even try to go ashore until MAYBE noon. Also, there was a note asking for my kind consideration while they shampoo my carpets sometime between 10:30 and 2:30.
I guess most cruises will have a “less fun” day here and there... but I’m still on a cruise which has to be better than being at work...
The ship’s wireless service (WiFi) has been working intermittently, mostly not working – frustrating, especially when trying to use up my minutes... In-room dial-up is ok, but more expensive and slower...
