The last two days have been very relaxing and peaceful at sea. The sea is quite calm and it has been very sunny. My morning walk around the top deck was very windy though. I was beat after 35 minutes. We’ve pretty much been lying by the pool, sitting on the veranda, eating and gambling. I did OK last night at blackjack, breaking even after about an hour.

Tonight we have our tour group photo during informal night (suits). Our waiter Roy was working the bar at the Waterfall café during lunch and looked us up. He missed us at dinner last night. We blew off the sit down dinner last night and instead opted for sushi and the pasta and Caesar salad stations at the casual dining restaurant. If you have ever been on a cruise ship, you know that there comes times when you just want something plain and normal. I have determined that there are no chips, pretzels, popcorn or other snack foods anywhere on this ship.
