Day 10 – At sea




We have managed to stay pretty busy for a day at sea but I’m not sure how!!
Between lectures, movies, art auctions (no, we did not buy!), the casino and taking in a Pub lunch we managed to day quite nicely!

The weather was pretty clear although we can start to feel the lowering temperatures and the ocean looks a different color.  We are still sailing in moderate seas although the swells are a bit deeper and you can feel more deep rolling of the ship.  Not enough to hang onto the rails but you’d better hang on going up and down the stairs!

We’ve had some fun entertainment in the atrium area and yesterday we had the bartenders showing us their tricks.  Also a guy called ‘the checkerboard man’ and he was a very clever juggler with a great ‘schtick’.

‘Lincoln’ was shown in the theater today and we knew it was going to be standing room only and no one was in the mood to go into the theater over an hour early to just get a seat.  Betty went and competed in the Blackjack tournament (darn, didn’t win!) and Don did manage to snag a seat in the theater at the last minute.  The Commodore took his book to the topmost lounge on the ship to do some quiet reading.  I just played for a while in the casino.

Had a nice dinner this evening since it was ‘Italian’ in the dining rooms.  We had limoncello at the end of the meal and I laughed while taking a sip and it really ruins the experience when you snort it.
I am still recovering :O

Hope everyone is well.
Lots of love,
M

  1. Ha, I passed on the Limoncello in January. It is pretty rough. I'm sure you burned off some polyps in your nose and throat that you didn't even know you had!

  2. Yikes! Limoncello is strong (or at least the homemade Mangini version). That probably didn't feel too good on your sinuses.
    Here's a little ditty for you....When the shot hits your nose, like a big ol' bull-doze, Limoncello! Un-lucky fellow ; )
