Day 3
Our first full day at sea. Relaxing, do as you please kind of day. Not much to report!
Started with the breakfast buffet at 11 and moved to the Deli for 12:30 (you can’t starve on this ship!)
Wandered around, just checking things out. It really warmed up today from what we had at Long Beach, and even though it’s a bit of a cloudy day, the sun was shining most of the afternoon.
We reached a point on the peninsula that juts out quite a bit, so we came pretty close to land.
We watched school after school of flying fish around the ship – they jump out of the waves and float until they slam into a wave, but with the wind today they were staying airborne for nearly a minute.
We watched “UP” by the pool on the big screen.
We skipped dinner in the dining room again today because it was formal night. Each cruise there is one special Captain’s Dinner event where women are in cocktail dresses and men in tuxes. No thanks!
After enjoying the main buffet, we found a quiet spot at the front of the ship and stargazed for a while.
Also booked a special tour today that we’re VERY excited about!! They offer a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship, with only 16 spots. You get to see the galley, the engine room, backstage with the entertainment and the bridge. There’s just one tour, escorted by a security guard, and no photography allowed. We are so stoked to be able to get into such an exclusive tour. After September 11 they stopped offering bridge tours, so it’s awesome that they’ve found a way to slowly start allowing people a peak at the inner workings again.
