We were in the midst of another sea day, having left HMC yesterday afternoon, enroute to St. Thomas. We had a light breakfast at the Lido and went for four quick laps around the lower Promenade deck. Windy as heck.
After finishing the laps we came back inside and I decided to speak to the future cruise consultant to get her price for our 3/26 cruise. She was over $100 per person more expensive than the current price my TA is charging (and we paid $150 per person less than that).
After that we headed up to the gym and I did 1/2 hour on the stair machine. They look over the port side of the ship and have a clear view to the water below. Saw many flying fish while using the stairs. Those suckers really fly!!!
Afterwards we wanted to go to the Lido pool as they were having live music from 12:30 to 1:30. We got there about 11:30 and couldn't find two chairs together. So we went out and laid by the aft pool. I went in and found two chairs together at 12:45, so we were able to catch most of the music. We had lunch at the Lido and then watched the pool games at the aft pool. Those games involved eight people, started at 1:30, ended at 1:45 and was the only games for the entire 10 days. We stayed outside after the games, but it started raining a little later, so back to the Lido pool. However, on a warm day with the roof closed it got very muggy, like an indoor pool.
We then got changed and tried the high tea. DW spent a couple of years in England and stated that it wasn't what she considered high tea to be.
Had dinner at the DR. Second formal night. We were seated on the lower level but went out the upper level. The yum-yum man's setup was still there from the 5:45 seating. So I figured I'd help myself to something. Do you realize that the ginger looks just like dried pineapple? Well it does. Eating ginger when you're expecting sweet, sugar coated dried pineapple can be quite an experience.:eek:
That night the evening show was a pianist. We elected to miss this and go to the move (King Arthur) at the Wajang. Afterwards we went to the Crow's Nest for the 50s and 60s night, but didn't stay too late.
With the exception of the short shower mentioned earlier, most of the day was sunny to partly sunny and 80s.
