Day at Sea

Sunday is a sea day.  We did not turn our clocks back, will do that tonight.  But our phones changed automatically.  So we thought it was 7:30am and when we put on our watches which said it was 8:30am.  So we were tardy.  Breakfast on Sunday is Caviar and Champagne.  Bob and I each had an eggs florentine.  Really good.

We had another Muster drill.  New rule is that on all cruises over 14 days, a second emergency drill must be held.  So we went but did not have to go to the life boats and it is windy today.

Then we returned to the cabin and I finished my book.  I took it back to the library and then we went up for lunch.  Today they were having a TexMex lunch on the deck.  We passed and just had a small lunch as we are having dinner tonight at Prime 7.

After our nap, we went up and swam for 45 minutes and 10 minutes in the hot tub.  Bob had checked the water temp and said it was warm.  Not so but it was okay.  Some movement of the water as it is windy and the seas are rolly.

We cleaned up for dinner and headed up to the Galileo Lounge for a cocktail.  While we were sitting, Matt (one of the dancers) came and sat with us.  It was nice to speak with him and learn a little about life on the ship as a worker and not a passenger.  Matt is married to the male gymnast but he has a single cabin on deck 4.  His husband shares a cabin with the female gymnast on deck 5.  Matt is considered one of the crew and the gymnasts are considered guest artists.

We then headed to dinner in Prime 7.  We were not able to get reservations earlier for this place.  We were seated at a table for two by the wall.  Not the best location but I guess those with the 6:30 time slot get the best seats.  We ordered and I had the onion soup and Bob had oysters Rockefeller.  When they came to take the dishes away, Bob asked for another order.  The waiter said that he had put our main course order in but he could have them on the side.  With that came the main course.  Service was much to fast for this place.  They did not need to seat anyone else at this table later so what with the rush service.  And my steak was lukewarm.  I need to realize that no one can make a steak like Ruth Chris.  Oh well.  We both had fruit for dessert and finished our wine and left.

Came back to the cabin and watched some of the football games.  Then lights out and bed.  We gained the hour tonight.
