Today was our first of two consecutive sea days as we head south to our first stop in Antigua on Thursday.
We slept in a little bit after our hectic Travel and Embarkation day yesterday. After eating our normal buffet breakfast, we applied sunscreen and headed out to the pool deck to relax in the beautiful Caribbean sunshine. We had no issues getting open pool deck lounge chairs, which can sometimes be an issue on Caribbean cruises. It appears the mix of younger and older passengers is more on the older side, so spending time outside in the heat and sunshine is not what the older crowd enjoys.
We went to the buffet for lunch before heading over to one of the pool bars for some refreshments. It was a very pleasant afternoon, with just enough breeze from the ships movement to help moderate the heat.
Later in the afternoon, we went back to one of the bars near the main pool, the Seaview Bar. There is a glass walkway that projects out from the ship far enough to be over the water below. It is on deck 17 so you are quite a ways up from the water.
It is interesting to watch how many people are not willing to walk on the glass due to the effect of the height. The bartenders at this bar are great, they are always trying to put on a show in some way or another, and are very friendly and fun.
We met a few other couples, and three of them are on their honeymoons, and are much younger than us. We also met a couple from Naples, FL who were older.
We ended up going to the dining room for dinner and it was a pleasant experience, the wait staff were good and we had a nice table.
After dinner, we had a nightcap and then headed back to the cabin.
