Day 7 - Sea Day

Last day of round one – another sea day. We slept in until about 7:30, which is great for us! We both woke up feeling much better so I headed up to the gym for about 90 minutes. Couldn’t run without coughing but was able to walk 4 miles and then do 30 minutes on the bike, which felt good. After a light breakfast we headed up to the Promenade deck to get a coffee and read. It was very foggy and cool today so the inside areas were crowded. At times the fog was so thick that you could barely see the water and the captain was blowing the fog horn every few minutes. Fortunately, we did not hit any other ships or icebergs!

After lunch we got some information about our process for tomorrow. This back-to-back will be different than others we have done because we are staying on the same ship, in the same cabin. This means we just have to take ourselves off the ship (our clothes and other things can stay in our cabin) and go through customs with our declaration cards. Then we can return to the ship, should we choose. However, we are planning to take the shuttle from the port to the Aquarium and then come back for a tour of the Queen Mary. When we walked around the QM before we boarded the ship last Sunday we noticed that they have a tour “package” price to do both.

Now we’ve had dinner and are back in the cabin. As I type this, Andrew is watching a documentary on a man who was found guilty of drowning his wife while they were scuba diving. I hope he’s taking particular note of the fact that the guy is now in prison for the rest of his life! :)
