Day 23 – Sea Day 2 of 4

Drink of the Day – Mariner Rita

It seems like we have sailed into cooler waters. The weather was beautiful but a bit nippy on the upper decks. We have noticed that the water looks and smells different. It is a darker blue-green with a very slight smell of fresh fish. The seas have also been very calm which has surprised a lot of people onboard.

The highlight of the day was when Jane came in first place in the digital scavenger hunt. Participants had 20 minutes to run around the ship and take pictures of 15 items on a list. Jane was the only one to find all 15.

A second highlight was getting buzzed by a military plane two times. Linda and Jane were on the balcony of the cabin when a plane came straight at the ship and flew right over it. It circled and did it again and then left. Our cabin attendant was in the hall and said, “It happens. No big deal.”

For the most part the rest of the day was spent doing a whole lot of not much. We checked out the sweatshirts and $10 watches in the promenade, looked at picture of people we don’t know in the photo gallery, sat on the deck, ate, ate again, got ready for dinner, ate again, and had a few cocktails between activities. It was exhausting.
