Today we awoke to sunny skies and fairly calm seas. After visiting the buffet for breakfast, we sat out by the pool for most of the morning and afternoon. We are trying to take advantage of the warm weather while it lasts, knowing that as we cross the Atlantic, we are likely to see much cooler temperatures, and possibly rougher seas.
In the afternoon, we attended Easter Vigil Mass in the Explorer’s Lounge. Mass was done by a priest from Houston that is traveling on the cruise.
We went to dinner in the dining room tonight, and the service was good and prompt. Since the cruise is only about half full, there was no line to get a table. We are doing “Personal Choice Dining”, which gives us the option to go at whatever time we want, similar to going to a normal restaurant.
After dinner, we happened upon the comedy show in the main theater, it was absolutely full. We had to stand to watch the remainder of the show. I think all of the passengers on the ship were there, we hardly saw anyone else walking around before we got there! The comedian was from Great Britain, and was very good.
We are expecting to run into a little bit of weather tomorrow as we approach Bermuda, the Bermuda weather is calling for winds gusting to 35 knots, and unfortunately, a cold front will be passing through on Sunday, and the high temperature for Monday is only expected to reach 65 degrees. We were also informed that the bus drivers on Bermuda are on strike, and this limits the availability of public transportation to explore the island. We will most likely have to take taxis to visit the beaches since the main mode of transportation is the buses.
