Day 12 - Sea Day

Second-to-last sea day today and we enjoyed it very much! I was up early and went to the gym for a run. When I got back we showered and went up for a light breakfast before heading out to the deck to lie out and read/relax. It was particularly hot out this morning so we were back in the cabin by 11 am. At 2:30 we headed off to a meet and greet that was planned by the folks Andrew corresponds with on the Cruise Critic website. Cruise Critic is fairly well known in the cruise industry and the cruise lines like it when people on their ships have positive experiences and post about them. They also know that folks will post about their negative experiences, too. The cruise director from this ship, and his assistant cruise director, both came to the meet and greet to answer questions and take feedback from the group. After that discussion we chatted with some of the folks Andrew knows from the boards. Andrew is well-known on the Carnival boards and folks at the meet and greet were happy to see “Gar” (short for his screen name on the boards – Gargoyle).

We spent the rest of the afternoon reading out on the balcony and then headed off to our 6:30 reservation at the steakhouse. The meal was amazing, as usual, and way too much food, as usual. Now we’re back in the cabin for the evening trying to digest enough to be able to go to bed. Tomorrow is our last day on the ship before we head home – keep your fingers crossed that we can sleep in for once!

  1. Karin, we have been trying to figure out how old Dolly is. She must be in her mid thirties. Can you remember when we got her? Love, dad.
