Larry and I are happy to have four days at sea. It gives us a lot more time to enjoy all the activities on the ship and relax a little. We usually choose to have a leisurely breakfast in the DaVinci Dining Room on sea days. We dined with several couples from all over the states and two gentleman who just boarded the day before while we were in Barbados . These guys summer in their home in upper New York State and winter in their home in Barbados. Everyone that we speak with on this trip are "world travelers". They all have been so many places and enjoy talking about their adventures. Larry and I really enjoy getting information out of these people about the places we have yet to travel to...makes our trip planning a little easier.
Our mornings are filled with walking on one of two decks, taking Zumba class, taking a Flashmob Line Dancing class, taking a card making class, an origami class and attending presentation from a lively gentleman , John Maxtone-Graham, author and maritime historian of Ocean Liners. We attended an hour of his talks each of the four days and still wanted to hear more. What an interesting chap!
We had lunch one day in the Wheelhouse Pub, an authentic British Fare of fish and chips, brewski, and strawberry trifle. The British music was mighty fine. The afternoons were spent catching a few rays, watching a Paul McCartney New York Concert on the big screen, working out in the spa, and trips to the sauna and hot tub. AHHHH!
Dinners continued to be a wide variety...seafood medley, prime rib, turkey with all the trimmings, shrimp...with interesting vegetables side dishes, salad and fruit bar....Larry's is in heaven with the dessert bar!
During the evenings we had a variety of live entertainment. We enjoyed a show with music from around the world and Larry pulled me out on the dance floor for a few choice numbers. One evening we chose to watch a special on the artist Norman Rockwell in our room. We also watched Iron Man III, The Call, and Captain Phillips on the Screen Under the Stars. So much to see and do....we find it hard to get it all in.
