Second Sea Day
Today we slept in a
bit. I’m starting to acclimate to the new times but we’ll be turning the clocks
back again tonight so that’ll screw me up a bit. I went for a walk to take a
few pics while most of the boat was still asleep. The place is empty at 06:30.
We met Dave and
Annette in the Windjammer for breakfast at 09:00. That ran until about 10:30.
It’s great when you don’t have anywhere to be. After breakfast we changed into
our swimsuits and headed for the hot tub. It was crowded and deck chairs were
hard to find. On a sea day everyone has the same idea. We found four chairs on
an upper, upper deck and put our stuff on them. We went into the hot tub for a while
then returned to the chairs. It was getting cloudy which made it cool for lying
out so we gave up and returned to our rooms. More relaxing and hanging out.
Next it was lunch
before the big Ice Show. Yes, there’s a skating rink on the ship. It’s not huge
but it’s big enough for an ice show. The show was actually pretty good. It was
called the Seasons on the Explorer of the Seas. After the show it was off to
the casino to lose a few more dollars to the machines.
Dinner was at
Portofinos. It’s the high end restaurant on board. It costs an extra $20 and is
by reservation only. The whole ETA group decided to go, 52 of us, so it made
for a fun evening. Great food, great conversation, great evening. The Captain
and his staff also attended.
We ended up in the
Chamber where they were having the silent dance party. Everyone gets a pair of
wireless headphones that can be switched to either of two DJ’s playing
different music. It’s really funky. Everyone is dancing, quietly. That is until
they start singing. Before long Barb and Annette were singing aloud, along with
a lot of other folks. So much for the silent part. I fell asleep in the chairs so we decided it
was time to call it a night.
