Hawaii trip - third and fourth sea days

We obviously missed posting anything yesterday. Yesterday and today were pretty much the same as the first and second sea days – a lot of reading and relaxing interspersed by a nap or two, trips to the gym and meals. We did go to a show last night – a trumpet player who played covers of big band songs with a 10-piece orchestra.

Unfortunately, the weather has been less than ideal up to this point. The top temperature has been 74 Fahrenheit and we’ve had a lot of clouds and strong winds. Despite this, there are still many die-hard folks huddled under beach towels on the main decks. We have not spent as much time out as we would have liked. It did finally warm up a bit this afternoon so was warm enough to sit out – although we had to be in hoodies to do it!

Tonight is the past-guest reception - a little cocktail party for people who have sailed Carnival before with free drinks and canapés. We went on our last cruise and had a nice time so will go again tonight after dinner. Then we’ll head off to my favorite show of the whole cruise – the passenger talent (or often, lack thereof) show! Tonight we gain an extra hour of sleep (that will make 5 hours we’ve gained since we left home…a definite bonus) and tomorrow will be our last sea day. It will be nice to get to Hawaii and see the sights, but it’s also been enjoyable to just relax on the ship!
