Because of Hurricane Irene, the cruise had to adjust its schedule in order to avoid bad weather. This resulted in us skipping St. Thomas and spending an extra day at sea. The nice thing about this was we got to sleep in a little bit later. We woke up just in time to rush to the dining room for breakfast (I preferred eating in the dining room for all of our meals on board because I don't like buffets and the food is so much better!). We both opted for the eggs benedict which is a favorite breakfast food for both of us. I have no idea how they kept their hollandaise sauce from being runny. Maybe they baked the whole thing at the very end?
It was a very lazy day for us. I was determined to not return from our honeymoon as pale as when we went. We took full advantage of our private balcony and laid out for a little bit - but not before we lathered up with SPF 100. So we didn't actually get much color ..... It was nice though laying out and listening to the water. We went to lunch in the dining room and went back to the room where I laid out for a couple more hours and Stewart read and took a nap. We got ready for dinner and headed back to the dining room - we ate a lot on our honeymoon! We got to meet all of our tablemates. Turns out everyone was on their honeymoon. One couple was from Philadelphia and the other was from San Juan. They were friendly and we hung out with the Philly couple a few times on the ship. After dinner, we checked out the nightly show and then headed to the comedy club to see Happy Cole who is one of the funniest people I have ever seen. We saw all of his shows while he was on board.
8.23.11: Another Day at Sea
We decided to do a little more this day. We got up and had breakfast and then lathered up with our SPF 100 and headed to the top of the ship for some putt putt! I have never seen this on a cruise ship. The rocking of the boat made it a little more challenging as the ball didn't always stay put. We played two rounds and then started to feel the heat of the sun. We took some fun pictures and then went in search of something to drink. The soda cards are the best thing on a cruise although I think the bartenders are disappointed when all you order is a ginger ale or Shirley Temple. We had lunch and then I laid out of a little bit while Stewart napped. Dinner that night was one of the elegant nights. Stewart and I dressed up all nice and eleganty-ish ... well, as much as you can on a ship where they don't recommend high heels.
After dinner, we went to the comedy club again. We were going to be sad to see Happy Cole leave and talked about looking him up on Netflix. We headed to bed at a somewhat decent hour in anticipation of our first island the next day: Barbados!
