I was surprised at how late I slept in. I had my alarm
wake me at 06:00. That’s late for me. When I’m on the cruise I like to get up
early and walk around while most other people are sleeping. It’s a good time to
take pictures. I went to the internet lounge to set up the on-line account so
that I can use the wireless. There’s a hot spot in the Promenade Café where I
get coffee so I’ll be working in there from now on in the mornings. While I was
on line I ordered a new shift linkage for the bike. It should be waiting for me
when I get home.
The weather today is a bit sporty. The winds are howling
around 55mph, giving the seas a little kick and slowing the ship a bit. Barbara
and I wanted to go up and check out the jogging / walking track but that deck
is closed because of the high winds. It’s supposed to get a bit sportier before
it lets up.
There wasn’t a whole lot to do today. We went to
breakfast around 09:30 which lasted for a while. It’s nice not having anywhere
to go sometimes. We walked around, checked out some things in the shops and
poked our heads into the health club. Lunch was at Johnny Rockets where we were
entertained by our waiter. He spoke poor English but did some pretty good but
simple magic tricks. After that we wandered around a bit more then took a nap.
I hopped down to the casino for a bit and threw away a few more dollars. I
really should stay away from the slots and play blackjack instead. Before
dinner we walked around a bit more to wake up and stretch our legs. Having the
upper outside deck closed really makes you feel caged. When we returned to the
room we started getting ready for dinner. Its formal night so we had to make
sure things were just so.
Dinner was great. We have a really good table. Six of us
have been on this cruise together before, at the same table and the other
couple that has joined us is younger but really good people.
Since it was
formal night we had someone take pictures of the table. Even that turned out to
be fun. Again, we were just about the last table to leave the dining room, a
sure sign that we were having a good time. We moved from the dining room to the
Maharaja Lounge for Karaoke. The ETA road captains were going to do some singing,
which turned out to be pretty good. We didn’t hang around there long as it was
getting really late so it was good night.
