First sea day










Our first do-nothing day on the ship. Despite that, we were up our usual 5:30 am! I headed to the gym and Andrew lounged in the cabin. Afterwards, we showered and headed up for breakfast in the dining room. Tried to spend some time on our beautiful balcony, but it’s only about 60 Fahrenheit today with fairly strong winds and 10 foot waves. Even with coats it was too chilly with the wind to stay out long. Spent much of the morning and early afternoon wandering around the ship and reading. Planned to go to a Hawaii naturalist presentation in the afternoon, but I was quite sea sick due to the rough seas so stayed in the cabin instead.

After some medication and a little nap, I was feeling much better so we went to the on-board steakhouse for dinner. The steakhouse is an “alternative” dining venue, and you pay a per-person surcharge to go there. The meal is well worth it! Their lobster bisque is one of the most delicious things I have ever had in my life, and the rest of the food is just as good. Andrew had lobster tail and I had a prime rib chop. Photos show some of the courses; as well as our beautiful aft-wrap balcony.

Now, back in the room to digest and unwind from our hard day of relaxing. Let’s hope for warmer weather and calmer seas tomorrow!
