 Because we had to set our clocks ahead one hour this morning, we woke up a little later than usual. As we checked out the weather from our balcony, we discovered it was raining. Since today was a sea day, we didn't have to worry about the rain affecting a shore excursion, but it would affect Steve, Teresa, and Mei-O's plans. |
 The pickleball courts were all wet! Their plans to play pickleball would have to be put on hold until the rain stopped and the courts could dry out. |
 The rain was really slowing down, so Mei-O and I decided to join the rest of the walking crowd and take a walk around Deck 17's short walking track. |
 Then it was off to breakfast. Another plate of lox on a roll with red onion and tomato and some smoked whitefish was quite satisfying. |
 While Mei-O took a shower, I watched a little TV on our pretty good-sized room TV, then just relaxed on the balcony, enjoying the sea pass by (0:31). I loved watching the sea like this, always hoping to see something pop up - a whale or orca, a dolphin or porpoise, or, well, just anything - but during the whole cruise, I never saw anything. Yet I knew there were some creatures under there.... |
 We walked around the ship a bit, then came across a cha-cha class on the piazza. It was so crowded, Mei-O decided to dance on Deck 6 (0:51). (Can you find her?) She quickly learned that if you want to dance on the piazza, you had to get there early. |
 While Mei-O danced, I walked around the ship, stopping to watch the Grand Opening Art Show in progress, then continuing on past the Crown Grill Bar. I stopped to check out a game show, Lunch Time Trivia, then eventually ended up outside on Deck 16 where I almost got a hamburger at the Salty Dog Grill (but didn't). Finally, I just relaxed on a deck chair and caught a bit of a movie (I can't recall what the movie was), then headed back to the piazza to meet Mei-O when the dance class was over. |
 Steve, Teresa, and Mei-O were always looking for a chance to play pickleball. When we went up to the pickleball courts, there was a scheduled soccer game in progress, but it was just ending, so they, along with another single player, got to play. Pickleball is beyond me, so I sat and watched. (I climbed up to Deck 18 to get a better view. The pickleball courts were way at the back of the ship, offering me a great view of where we were coming from!) They played for quite a while, taking turns, switching players and partners with other waiting pickleball players. Next Top |
