After a rough night, we awoke to partly sunny skies, and slightly calmer seas than we had overnight. However, it was still fairly rough, seas were running about 10-12 ft, and the temperature was in the low 60’s. We went to the buffet for our breakfast, and then spent some time walking around the ship. There was a fruit and vegetable carving demonstration in the Atrium that was very interesting to watch. We did not do much else the rest of today, we just spent the time relaxing.
The pools had all been emptied overnight due to the high seas, but also appeared that the crew was performing some maintenance in the pool areas. I guess the cruise line anticipated the cooler temperatures keeping everyone inside, away from the pools, and they were correct.
The seas calmed down some in the afternoon, the sun came out, and made for a nice afternoon. We spent some of the afternoon reading on our balcony since it was protected from the wind, and the ship was in a position to expose the balcony to the sunshine. After that, it was off to the hot tub for our standard late afternoon soaking.
Dinner was at 7:30 pm, and we headed to the Dining room for dining with our wait staff, Nicoletta and Rommel. We had a nice dinner, and were able to watch the “Chef’s Dinner” that was taking place at a table located very near to ours. We had a nice view of the ocean during dinner, with the time changes, sunset was not until 8:20 pm.
After dinner, we had planned to go watch some of the live entertainment, but ended up staying in the cabin and watching a good movie on our TV. Tomorrow, we will be celebrating Stephanie’s Birthday!
