Today we’re at sea. Over this first leg of our cruise we’ve gained 4 hours from San Francisco. This change in time has made the days longer, and sunsets later as we head further south to the midnight sun of the southern hemisphere. Now we can watch the sunset from our balcony after dinner.
We continue to take Bridge lessons, lots to learn and remember! We’ve also continued our wine tasting journey - I think wine tasting will be a regular thing for us. It’s a lovely way to spend an hour or two, trying wine, paired with great food in the middle of the afternoon, on the ocean.
On these sea days the ship works to keep us entertained and take more money for us - while we’ve happily succumbed to wine tasting, so far we’ve managed to resist the constant spa specials (still way overpriced, the casino Blackjack and Poker events and the regular boutique and jewelry sales. This blog includes some pictures of what’s on offer here!
We haven’t made it to a lecture yet - wine always seems to win out!
The air is a bit cooler now so sunbathing is at a perfect temperature, I try to avoid midday and we generally sunbath around 3:30 or 4 for a bit, still ended up burning my eyelids though. The pool area is largely empty at this time so it feels like our private yacht. Lots of folks rush to be ready for dinner by 5 so they can get the 2 for 1 happy hour drinks available between 5 and 6! So much strategy required to cruise well!
Our wine tasting attendance has gotten us some lovely glasses of after dinner wines as gifts from our wine steward, Anthony. We’re already planning dinner parties for our return to introduce them to many of you!
I’m working on photos for a post on the food to give you an idea what’s available and what it looks like. Adrian’s having fun practicing what he’s learned - that you really can have whatever you want!
