Day 8– 04/19/12
Sea Day
Today was a late
wake-up, no more rides. Sea Days are lazy days. We went to breakfast in the
grand dining room instead of the Windjammer, for a change. We weren’t
impressed. We then went down to the photo studio to check out the photos we had
taken the evening before. They turned out pretty good. The biker garb with the
white background made a nice contrast. Next we made our way down to the main
showroom for a session of ‘Ask the Captain’. It was a session of Q&A with
the ship’s captain and his main officers. It was quite informative. This ship
uses one gallon of fuel for every 46 feet it moves.
After the talk we went back to the photo studio to check
out the pictures some more. We’re probably going to buy some so we want to be
sure. They aren’t cheap. Most are $20. We finished at the photo studio and
headed up to the Windjammer for a little lunch. We were all still pretty full
from last night’s dinner so lunch was light. The need for a nap hit me like a
truck so after lunch I hit the bed while Barb went up to the hot tubs in the
Solarium. After I woke up I joined her in the Solarium. It felt great to just lie
in the sun with nothing to do. The sun was slowing shifting away and it was
cooling a bit so we returned to our room to get ready for the show. It was
formal night so we had to dress accordingly.
The show wasn’t bad. It was an almost winner of America’s
Got Talent. He sang with two backup singers. His Motown was the best. Next was
dinner. Tonight was lobster…how grand. Most everyone was dressed up for the
final formal dinner. Annette took pictures of everyone at the table.
We left dinner any went to Studio B for something called
the Quest. This was a blast. They divide the crown into teams, 11 in all. Then
they pick four captains for each team. The idea is the MC asks for something
and each team has to produce it for points. A great example was to show a
tattoo on a woman in a provocative place. Funny stuff. When that was over we
went to the Chamber for another silent dance party. This time I got the headphones
and was dancing in my seat to some awful music. Fun times.
