Day 4, Rain, rain, go away

 Tuesday, February 25th, sailing to St. Barts, rain, high winds, high seas.

Hey Everybody,

Today there are high winds, and lots of rain.  The ship has some movement, but not too bad.  We dined in Compass Rose for breakfast.  Rich had his waffles and I had French Toast.  The entrees were served hot.

We each had a fruit salad to start

This is a sea day so it was a relaxing day for us.  We headed to the Seven Seas Lounge to hear the lecturers.  The first one was about the Caribbean from the desitination specialist that gave the tallk.  It was interesting.  The second speaker was about Broadway.  We found it quite interesting.

We tried walking around to get in some steps, but with the ship rocking, it was a little challenging with other people milling about.  Did not get in many steps.

Next up was lunch, this certainly was a day to eat, we will regret this, I am sure.  Lunch was in Compass Rose as we prefer to be waited on.  We tried the Thai Chicken Curry and it was quite good.  While sitting at the table, waves were crashing against our window.  Scared me every time.  The dining room is on the 5th deck so you can imagine how high those waves were.

The afternoon was spent just doing nothing!  They have plenty of activities onboard, but we did not participate.

This evening was a formal one.  Rich wore his suit and left his tux at home.  I would have needed another  suitcase if he wanted to pack it.  There was a Captain Welcome Aboard Party, but we have been to so many, we passed on that and instead had a drink up in the Galileo lounge.  There were several people up there enjoying cocktails and snacks.

Back down to Compass Rose for dinner.  We had the Beijing duck and it was quite good, but not really authentic Chinese duck.  It was a very leisurely dinner which we prefer.

Another sea day tomorrow and then we will be at St. Barts.  Looking forward to finding some sun and heat.

Until next time...
