Sea Days



My Explorer

Sea days are Perfect for exploring the ship and trying out activities we would otherwise never think of doing.   This day was as gorgeous as the day before was gloomy.  Not that gloomy ever defines us. We can have a good time anywhere.

Skywalker Nightclub

Our first venture was up to the nightclub on the 17th deck. Always available to frolic at night, it was pleasantly deserted during the day and offered stunning views of the ocean.

Terry of course, wanted to see if he could survive the 17 deck drop.

Front of the Ship from Skywalker

The Conservatory

At the very front of the ship, visible from Skywalker were three spas. 

There were rarely more than 2 or 3 people in each of them making it almost a private pool! Because there were so many private areas available the ship offered illusions of private indulgence...like it was our own private yacht. 

There were other pool areas too of course, some busy (i.e. kid friendly) and some not. The pool to the right was reserved for adults.  

C752 Caribe Deck, Home for 14 days

My house never looks this good. Thanks to May for taking such good care of us.

The View - also The Reading Deck



My One and Only Zumba Class, Club Fusion



Sea days are optimal for activities you usually wouldn't think twice about.  Zumba for one.



Carpet Bowling

Carpet Bowling for another. Does sound a little silly, doesn't it?

Beverly Tams

Or maybe learn Chinese? Unlikely I would try this at home. The Beverly of Peter and Beverly Tams tried to teach us a few Chinese words. A few is about all my little mind can handle.  There are more than 2,000 Chinese characters, but many of them stand for a whole word. They remind me of hieroglyphics. 

I tried to find a few online with little success so I suppose I may have to draw them myself. I may not be looking in the right place but my translation tools are not coming up with the same drawings she gave us.  And my drawings would probably be wildly inaccurate, so maybe I'll pass. Interesting though.

So a perfect ending to a perfect day? FORMAL NIGHT! Terry rented a tuxedo.  Probably the best idea he had in years.  For one reason we were limited on luggage size, and for another his gynormous shoes alone take up a whole suitcase. That might be an exaggeration.

This formal night and most mornings we ate at Sabatini's. One of the few places on board where you have to pay for food.  Breakfasts were free for Suite People however. And Terry got a LOT of special attention.

It did keep us out of the madness associated with Formal Nights...photographers in every available corner.  Our photo bill  alone by the end of the cruise was enough to go on another cruise. The kids will have a huge (expensive) bonfire when we're gone.
